How to fix Instagram not loading on Safari in my Mac?

omg the same thing has been happening to me for about a month, I think its just a problem with safari because instagram works fine for me on google

I think Facebook provides a clue. I've received warnings in FB messenger window about browser NOT supporting end-to-end encryption. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Thank you for the tip. Updating Safari only solved the problem on my mac.

Instagram now working normally.

Further update. I had previously tried many web browsers including Firefox which didn't work. However, I have just logged into Firefox again and it is now working i.e. I can load my instagram profile and Instagram is working OK. Fingers crossed that it stays that way. It's possible (I'm not sure) that instagram are rolling out fixes so Safari may soon be OK again.

same issue here. running Safari on an older Mac running Mojave. tried clearing history, etc,. but also experiencing the same issue running Safari on my laptop that is also running Mojave.

There are indeed workarounds to installing newer OSX on Macs that are no longer officially supported, which I might get around to eventually.

fingers crossed something changes and maybe things will magically work for us down the line

But in the meantime, my workaround is to use Firefox!

No, you're definitely not the only ones! I have got a MacBook Pro from early 2013 that worked perfectly for me. Until end of February... IG is fine on my husbands Windows PC (with Firefox) but not on my Mac anymore. OS upgrade not possible. I will try to find a different browser for my Mac. Or wait until IG reacts, if ever...

I just upgraded my 2015 MacBook from Mojave to Monterey. (after a few other apps required me to do so), and must say, IG is working better in Safari than ever before. If you think about it, the problem we all encountered is probably a result of IG changing it's code somewhat, coupled with running an old version of Safari, and unfortunately, it's kinda doubtful either company will address the issue. Apple has a version of Safari that does work, but requires upgrading your OS, simple as that unfortunately. If your computer is too old to upgrade from Apple, look into upgrading via Open Core. see video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-huRykhjs6g

I'm having the same issue. MacBook Air with Big Sur, stopped working on Safari about a week ago. Fine on the app on the iPhone though. Working on Brave even with the shields up. Seems like it might be a Safari thing?

Any other browser works fine and I was using MS Edge until yesterday. I finally upgraded my MBP (2019) to Monterey 12.7.4 which then allowed me to update Safari separately. I'm now on Safari 17.4 and everything is working normally on IG again.

Thank you!!! Updating Safari on Monterey totally fixed it for me after weeks o this problem!!!

1) Follow the instructions. At first, there was only an update for Monterey under "More info" (as shown in the link instructions). I'm currently on Monterey, so I'm guessing the update is the last release of Monterey, so I did that.

2) Once the Monterey update wa complete, an new update for Safari appeared in the "More Info" section. I updated that as well.

3) Not sure if I had to but I restarted my computer anyways, and once I opened the updated Safari, I logged. in to IG and it FINALLY opened!!!

Hope this helps :).

Bit of background here: On an older iMac 2012 21" using Catalina 10.15.7. My Mac crashed constant spinning ball of death and kernel panics. Deleted drive and used a 7 week old Time Machine back up as my current user account wasn't functioning but problem persisted so deleted hard drive and reinstalled Catalina today without doing a transfer from my back up. Usually I use Brave or Chrome but my older Mac doesn't do well with Chrome so I use Brave a lot because I like having the Instagram status bar feature extension added so I can move the status bar while watching fitness videos on Instagram.

So today I'm on a new user account and tried to use Instagram with Safari and can only see other accounts from the back end but can't go to anyones profile and load the home page. I just installed Brave and Instagram is working on there. Still hoping I find a solution for the Safari browser.

I've tried this but when I go into Software Update, there's no updates available and no 'more info' for me to click on.

Any suggestions how I get to update Safari? Advanced shows nothing useful either

I'm pleased you have found a solution to this issue however, if I need to upgrade it's not a solution to me it's an expense.

how did you update??
