Hi, Instagram has stopped working on my version of Safari recently. Is it a matter of up grading Safari or has Instagram stopped supporting the browser? I’m using Safari 15.3 on OS Monterey. Has anybody got any ideas how to fix this? Thanks Gareth.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.6

I can’t find how I can update it! I’ve gone on the app store https://apps.apple.com/no/app/safari/id1146562112 where it says “This app is available only on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro.” That can’t be right can it?
Oh, sorry! Updating Safari is done by updating macOS in System Preferences > Software Update. Sometimes you'll get the option to only install a Safari update if it's small one, but I think you'll have to update Monterey to get the newest Safari version.

I wouldn't be surprised, though are you sure you're on macOS Monterey? I'm also on Monterey but my Safari version is 17.3- I'd definitely try checking for any Safari updates in System Preferences.

Hi Bubba, thanks. Yeah, I’ve got Monterey 12.2.1. Maybe you’ve got a newer version of Monterey?
I do, I've got 12.7.3- I don't have an Instagram account myself to test but when I go to the website (www.instagram.com) it does open the login screen, so it seems to be working for me. Might be worth trying an update.

Ok, thanks. System Preferences is offering me to update to OS Sonoma (14.4.1). I’ll do it later and update the thread with the results. Thanks again.

Very welcome, good luck.
Instagram on Safari 15.3?
