Instagram app loading but not working on iPhone

Hi there,

a couple of weeks ago, the instagram app stopped working on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. When I try to open it, there is a constant circle spinning. I have followed all the troubleshooting steps through the insta app on my iPad, reported the problem 10+times, went to the Apple Store to see whether there could a problem with my phone, spoke to apple customer support and also reset the phone completely. Still no luck! I don't know what else to do. Instagram customer support for businesses is completely useless and I'm now getting impatience. Would you be able to help me with this?


Thank you,

Beatrice

Hey! I was having this exact same issue yesterday with my new iPhone. Tried every single troubleshooting option and finally got there by completely removing the FACEBOOK app from my phone, then re-opened instagram and it worked. Highly recommend you have your passwords for both noted down somewhere as I didn’t know mine and that caused a few issues trying to log back in. Once I was back on instagram I downloaded the Facebook app to my phone again and all works fine. Good luck.
