Any knowledgable tech wizards? My Instagram keeps crashing on my iPod and I don’t know why...

Recently on my iPod touch (6th generation) whenever I try to upload something...my Instagram crashes. I tried deleting and re-downloading Instagram, turning the iPod off and on, deleting apps and internet cache making space, and doing a general software update. I have done all the typical troubleshooting but it still crashes. All my other apps are fine. Is there a bug going on in Instagram or is it my iPod? If someone knows and could let me know then I would be most appreciated as it’s completely halted me from promoting my new Instagram page. Many Thanks.

  • I do see two other possibilities:

    a) try to delete / deinstall the current installation of Instagram on your device and than install it again
    b) Install the application from your Safari webbrowser

    Regarding option b) you might install the web version of Instagram (which should work equally fine like the native application from the app store) and install that on your local device:
    1) go to https://www.instagram.com/
    2) tab on the "share" button (in the middle at the bottom, the arrow)
    3) choose "Add to home screen"

    As described on https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-add-home-screen-icons-in-safari-for-the-ipad-4103637, even though that it's an iPad there.

    If you than choose that application from your homescreen (try not get confused by the equal named native application that might still be installed) you should be able to log in and use any functionality equaly to the native application.
  • @Rachel McCool I looked at the app updates and Instagram didn’t come up so I think it’s on the latest version.
