Instagram app

I downloaded the Instagram app. When I try to open it, it flashes and goes back to the home screen. The icon for IG isn’t the typical but a white square with lines. I’ve deleted the white square and tried downloading again but the App Store says I’ve already downloaded the app and wants me to ‘open’.


I’ve restarted my phone, hard reset, I have sufficient memory, & updated iOS.


I’m not sure what else to try.
