Why doesn’t Instagram let you upload photos to your story on a regular basis?
The Instagram platform does not usually have many errors, but even in the best applications there may be errors due more than all to the number of people who use it per day or if you have participated in a trending topic that is having a lot of movement, it may be an influencing factor in how the app works.
Other factors that can contribute to having failures in Instagram, such as not letting you upload your content to the stories can be from having a bad internet connection, setbacks with the operating system or being outdated , a failure that the application itself to a Instagram blocking. Therefore, to be able to fix the error, you must identify what the fault you are having may be and thus be able to find the best solution for you.
We recommend that you always wait a little time or sometimes see other social networks to be able to find out if the Instagram platform itself is the one with the error, because in the last year there have already been errors in the application, then if it is this then you should wait for it to be fixed for everyone.
What should you do to fix the problems with Instagram stories on Android?
If you see that it is not a problem with the application but with your device, you can try these options that we will show you below, thus making your Instagram work perfectly again and you can upload all the stories you want.
Uninstall and reinstall the app
Uninstalling your application and then reinstalling it is one of the most common and effective methods to make your Instagram work in the best way, because by removing it from your phone, any fault or modification that you could make to the app will be deleted, therefore , when reinstalling it will be saved on your device as if it were the first time.
You can do it in the following way:
- Enter the Google Play applicationand look for the ‘My applications’ section.
- When you are there, look for Instagram and next to the name and the icon you will get the option to uninstall that you must apply.
- Exit the application and clear the Google Play window and then re-enter. This is an optional step that is at your discretion, but we recommend doing it.
- When you open the Play Store again, you must search for the Instagram application and download it like any other app.
Restart your mobile manually
In the case of restarting only the application, you must do it by entering the category of phone applications, search for Instagram and then use the option of ‘Force stop’ we will get a warning, but in the same way proceed with the procedure.
Once Instagram has stopped, you must proceed to restart your mobile completely, when it finishes restarting you can use the Instagram application as you normally do.
Check the app’s permissions
So that any application works on your phone and can do certain things like open your gallery, save files, show notifications, etc. A series of permissions that give access to your phone must be accepted, these are normally accepted when you just download the application, but sometimes some may be missing or they are modified for some reason, which causes problems when using it.
In this case, an error can happen when using Instagram that does not allow you to upload your photos or videos to the story, so we recommend you make sure that they are all activated as follows:
- Enter your phone settings and go to the applications part.
- Once open you must enter the Instagram application and look where it says permissions.
- Then in each box that says microphone, camera, multimedia files … You must click on ‘Allow’.
After allowing each permission go to the Instagram application and check if you can already upload and share your images and videos in the story.
How do you solve this problem with Instagram stories if you have an iPhone?
In the event that you have an iPhone device with the IOS operating system, you can follow these same steps that we have already presented, because the Instagram application has the same version for both IOS and Android, which may vary. is that by following the procedure of uninstalling the application to download it again, you will use the App Store.
Another part of a procedure that may vary a bit is where you get the phone options to accept the permissions, but you can search among your settings for the same words as they will have the same function as an Android phone.
