FIX for Instagram Reels Freezing/Restarting

For the longest time I was having issues of IG reels freezing and I found the fix. If you have this issue, go to the WiFi you are connected to and hit the “i” symbol and go down to “Private Wi-Fi Address” and turn it OFF. After doing this your WiFi will reconnect and IG should be running smoothly. I hope this helps a lot of you like it helped me!

Can't log in to Instagram on Safari Desktop & iOS When trying to log into Instagram on Safari I get the error "Sorry, this page isn't available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed. Go back to Instagram." Most support/help links at the bottom of the page loop back to this same error page. This started happening yesterday on Safari on ALL of my devices -- iMac, Macbook, iPhone & iPad -- but ONLY on Safari. Safari and all operating systems have been updated to the latest. The native iOS Instagram apps work fine, as well as logging in on Chrome, on all devices. This is all repeatable on both home internet and mobile, so it's not my internet connection. I've tried rebooting, tried uninstalling all Safari extensions, cleared Safari cache, tried using a Private Browsing window, I even tried deleting Safari and reinstalling. Same message throughout:

Video/reels restarting, or freezing Over the last week, I have been experiencing random video restarts while watching videos or reels. Sometimes it happens 30 seconds in, sometimes a minute in, and sometimes the video completely freezes. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a solution available? I am on Wi-Fi on my home network that I’ve always used so I don’t believe that to be the issue. It doesn’t matter what app I’m browsing it can be Facebook, Instagram, etc. It constantly does this strangely enough it has not done it on YouTube. Any feedback would be appreciated as this seems to be a constant issue. Yes, my phone is updated to the latest software and so are the apps.
