Can't share pictures to Instagram from Camera Roll

Hey everyone, this has me baffled. When I try sharing a picture from the camera roll to Instagram, there is a small animation where the selected picture moves up and then nothing happens. I have tried other third party apps and they all seem to work fine. Also, if I try sharing a video instead of a picture, it seems to work fine for Instagram. This is only affecting pictures. All settings are correct, privacy is allowed to all photos, I have uninstalled Instagram, reinstalled it, shut down the iPhone and nothing.


Apple support did not have an answer. Well, they did say "At least you can share the pictures from the Instagram App!" but that is not a fix, just a workaround for this problem.


I am sure I am not the only one but I have not found any recent issues when searching online.


By the way, I have an iPhone 12 Pro running iOS 14.2.1


Any ideas?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

You ask instagram or look at their support site, it is not an Apple app.
