Instagram only app that can't load on home wifi?

At my home, fast.com reports 250mb/s consistently, all other apps work seamlessly. At work it works fine on wifi, and on the mobile network.


One would think the WiFi is a problem, but works fine on spouses Android device.


I've reinstalled the app, restarted the phone... Is there something else I can try?

iPhone 11

I’m here assuming you’re not on a network or in a region that might or does filter network traffic.

This likely isn’t a setting on your router, though I might reboot the Wi-Fi router if you’ve not tried that.

I’ve definitely seen VPN add-ons and security add-ons do this, though. Even those not being used.

Set your iPhone network connection to use Google DNS (8.8.8.8, and 8.8.4.4), and see if things improve.

I’d check with Instagram Support for any known issues, too.

Then Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

Your next steps are probably then going to be a backup, reset, and reload.
