IPad Pro and Poor Instagram Performance after Update 16.2

I saw this question by another user but no one answered so I am going to ask again:

Since update 16.2 I can’t send Instagram stories because the story screen doesn’t give the option. I do have the option with my iPhone, and when I make them on the iPhone and I see those stories on my iPad Pro the screen is cut off on the edges. Also one of the filters for Instagram posts is completely messed up. I have had other problems such as with music in stories and also inability to use certain reel options. That I can live with, but since I primarily use Instagram on my IPad it’s a hassle that I can’t do stories. Please supply a fix for this!!!

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

After ANY iOS/iPadOS upgrade/update, you should ALWAYS perform a simple hard reset/forced restart of your Apple mobile device.

For iPad models with a Home button, do a simple hard reset/forced restart of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake/power button simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.

OR

For much newer design iPad models, without a Home button, try the new simple hard reset/forced restart procedure for the new 2018-2022 iPad Pros, 2020/21 iPad Air 4 and 5, the 2021 iPad Mini 6 and the new 2022, 10th gen base models,

1. Press and release the volume button closest to the top Power button

2. Then immediately press and release the volume button farthest from the top Power button.

3. Then, press and hold the top single sleep/wake/power button You will see the Slide to Power off button, but keep on holding down the power button until you see the Apple logo, then let it go.

Once you have performed all the steps, wait for a few seconds and your 2018-2022 iPad will boot up completely to the iPad’s Lock screen.

Best of Luck to You!

Thanks for your suggestion. I performed these steps but when I downloaded Instagram and tried a story I was still not given an option to send it. Thus my Stories function is still useless on my iPad Pro 2022. I have notified Instagram several times and as usual, get no response so I can’t determine what the problem is. Until I saw the other complaint here about this problem I hadn’t met anyone else on Instagram who has experienced it.
