Since Instagram’s latest v255.0 update was rolled out on iOS, many iPhone owners are unable to open the app. It’s simple, it closes immediately. For the moment, Instagram has not specified whether it intends to deploy a fix.
In recent weeks, Instagram has often taken center stage, whether for the controversial deletion of rapper Booba’s account, the blocking of nude photos in messages, or the increase in the maximum duration of stories from 15 to 60. seconds.
But this time, Instagram is talking about him because of a rather annoying bug. Indeed, many iPhone owners (most of them running iOS 16 or newer) are reporting on Twitter and other social media that it has become impossible to open the app.
Instagram bug on iPhone since the last update
All testimonials tell the same story: Instagram app on iOS closes immediately after opening. The usual workarounds, such as restarting the smartphone, are useless.
According to aggrieved users, the problem started to appear since the deployment of the latest v255.0 update from Instagram this Tuesday, October 4, 2022. Strangely, users on iOS 15 seem not to be affected by this bug.
“Instagramdown for over 24 hours now. As soon as the application is opened, there is an immediate crash! I’m having success when logging in through a web browser. If you can’t use the app, log in through a browser until Instagram fixes the bug caused by the latest update.” recommends a user on Twitter.
No patch to download yet
Other aggrieved users advise to keep the app running in the background to get rid of the bug. On the other hand, if you remove it, the problem returns and it becomes impossible to launch the app again. Therefore, the only possible solution to fix the problem on iOS 16 is to uninstall and reinstall the app, to run it once and let it run in the background.
At this time, it is not yet known when Meta will deploy a patch. We will update this article as soon as we know more about this topic. And you, are you affected by this bug on your iPhone? Tell us in the comments.
