Instagram has constant glitches and technical issues. How should I handle them?

Accept that Instagram glitches are never going to completely go away—it’s the reality of the platform. When you encounter glitches or can’t find features you’ve seen before, the first troubleshooting step is to delete the Instagram app and reinstall it. This usually fixes most issues. Don’t assume it’s your phone or device—it’s almost always Instagram’s platform having problems. Stay patient and know that technical issues are normal.
