Blurry videos on instagram - all videos

Hi! The past few days I've noticed that all videos appearing on Instagram, story and feed, are blurry. I logged into another account on my phone and there all videos are fine... I have an iPhone 12 pro. I'm so confused about this issue, does anybody know? I have tried to reach out to instagram as well but no answer...



iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

Are you connected by wifi, or mobile data.


If mobile data, check your account settings. Have you selected "use less data" under mobile data use.


Otherwise I suggest you contact instagram support - this is clearly not a phone issues as other accounts are ok.

Ok I’ve had the same annoying issue and I think this is going to solve it. There has been a message prompting me to switch to or connect the new messager in Instagram I kept ignoring it until today. Once I clicked on it allowed it to connect l deleted the app, reinstalled and bingo the videos are working perfectly hope this helps you as well

I’ve been having the same issue with my Instagram since December. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling it and that didn’t work. I then thought maybe my IOS update would help, but no luck there either. I also reached out to Instagram about the issue, and they haven’t fixed it either. Someone in this thread mentioned something about a messenger update. Well I did that too, and that didn’t fix the issue either. Smh Only thing left is for Instagram to look into the issue and fix it, because o know other people who are having this issue too.
