Updating Instagram app and it's been stuck saying "Waiting..."

I had the same problem. To fix it I had to restore my ipod to factory settings (which is always a pain), then I redownloaded instagram. It started doing it's little "Waiting..." game again, but this time I was able to delete it. I then went to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and singed out of my Apple ID. Then, I restarted my ipod after closing all the programs. After turning my ipod back on, I was able to successfully download the app.

Thanks: it's SettIngs / General / Storage & Icloud Usage / Manage Storage. BUT it appears to be either an issue with App Store or Instagram as it still won't reinstall. Hopefully within 24hrs this will Be resolved It's not an individual issue I don't believe.

Hey Zachphoto How you doing, I have a question for you, How do you fixed the problem with you Instagram being waiting because Im having the same problem Can you help me please?

Try tapping the app icon to pause the update, then go to the app store app, go to updates and tap update to resume the update.

There are some other things you could try listed in this article: http://www.labnol.org/internet/download-apps-stuck-on-waiting/25793/.

Go to the Setting ---> Storage ---> Manage Storage and delete the app there. Then download the app again.
