Hi


It may help to follow the app developer's troubleshooting steps:



If reinstalling the app, it may help to follow these steps:

  • Remove Instagram from your Apple Watch:

    On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > scroll down to the list of apps > tap on Instagram > turn off Show App on Apple Watch (allow a short time for the app to be removed).

  • Remove Instagram from your iPhone:

    Touch and gently hold your finger on the Instagram app icon until the icon jiggles > tap the "X" next to the icon to remove the app > press the Home button.

  • On your iPhone, reinstall Instagram from the App Store (which will also ensure that you are using the latest version).
  • Reinstall the app on your watch

    Via My Watch > Instagram > turn on Show App on Apple Watch and waiting until the process completes.

  • Open the app on your iPhone and sign in.
  • Open the app on your watch.


If the issue persists, then I suggest that you contact Instagram for assistance:
