Video: Instagram does not launch on Android. What to do?

One fine morning you post your post on Instagram, pepper it with hashtags and, out of curiosity, check to see if your photo is among others that have put the same hashtag. But you are not there! You check other hashtags, but the search seems to have completely forgotten about the existence of your account! Why did this happen and what to do?

First problem : you accidentally hit the sky with your finger and put the forbidden one in Instagram hashtag. Most likely, among your hashtags there are no insults, porn tags, obscenities, or other fun things. But it happens that even for the most harmless ## an account gets banned. Example from personal experience: I put the hashtag #mua (make up artist - makeup artist) and my photo was immediately blocked. How did I find out about this? I was not in the search for this hashtag + it was not a hashtag at all. As you know, it is blue on Instagram and works like a link, i.e. when clicked it works automatic search and you can see images on a given topic posted by other users. In my case, two-thirds of the hashtags under the photo remained plain black text.

First solution: Remove all hashtags under the post. This will allow you to rehabilitate your account after some time. If you do not do this, all photos posted on your profile will be considered spam.

A small note: blue hashtags are quite difficult to separate by eye from their black brothers. To simplify the task, switch the screen brightness on your smartphone to maximum.

IN Lately Instagram users are increasingly having problems with the stability of the application. Darling social network simply does not open, or, after letting you into your account and giving the pleasure of quality content, “mercilessly” throws you out of the application, without in any way explaining what is happening. But don’t rush to the store for a new smartphone and don’t write emails to support (in most cases this won’t help). In this publication, we will tell you why Instagram crashes and offer several working solutions to stabilize the application.

Why does he get kicked out of Instagram?

Difficulties logging into the application are observed among users of smartphones running under iOS control; Android; Windows Phone. As a rule, users of WEB versions of Insta this problem didn't touch it.

There may be several reasons for this:

1. Outdated version Insta.
2. Bugs in new application releases.
3. Software conflict (incompatibility of software installed on the device).
4. Lack of RAM due to outdated hardware or cluttered OS.
5. Problem with network access.

The application developers themselves, much less a support specialist working remotely, will not be able to determine why Instagram does not open in a particular case. Next, we’ll look at several methods, one of which will definitely help in restoring stable access to your Instagram account.

In some cases, neither updating nor rolling back to the old version of the application helps. In this case, you should do something radical and remove the client from mobile device. Moreover, deleting it is not enough, you need to clear the cache, and then reinstall the application on your smartphone.

The fourth option for solving difficulties with logging into Insta from a mobile device (when it is impossible to log in to the application) is to use the “Help with logging in” option, which is located under the authorization fields.

According to reviews, users of Apple products are more likely than others to experience being kicked out of the application after logging in. Typically there are two problems:

1. "Iron". New versions of Insta require more RAM (more than 1 GB).
2. A software “bug” that is solved by developers.

You just have to wait a little. As practice has shown, all errors made are corrected by the developers themselves within 1-2 weeks.

What does “Unknown network error” mean?

According to statistics of requests to Instagram support service, about 10% of users encountered the following bug " Unknown error networks." How can I eliminate the appearance of such an inscription and restore the ability to log in to Insta?

First of all, log into your Instagram account through a browser or from a PC. The main thing is that it is connected to the same router from which the login attempt was made and the error appeared.

If it says “cannot access the site,” then the first thing to do is reboot the router. In other words, turn off the power to the device for 30-60 seconds, then connect and try to log into Instagram again. In 90% of cases, the reboot procedure helps solve the problem of an Unknown network error.

Option No. 2 You cannot log in to Insta, and after entering your password and login, the familiar “Unknown network error” sign pops up. Moreover, authorization through the browser passes without any problems and access to the account appears. You can solve the problem as follows:

• Log in through your smartphone browser to the 2ip.ru website and see which city this resource shows;
• find out what time zone a given city has;
• go to your phone settings and turn off auto-time detection;
• manually set the time zone;
• restart your phone and make sure that the time and date on your device are set correctly.

Usually, this procedure solves the problem of unknown network error. If the error still appears, then connect to the Internet in another way, for example, not through a router, but using the capabilities mobile operator. You can go to a friend's house and try to connect from his access point. There are plenty of options - it's your choice. If “Unknown network error” does not appear when connecting to another access point, then the problem is only in your router.

Conclusion

In this publication, we tried to analyze in as much detail as possible the problem why Instagram crashes, and looked at several working ways to solve it. May help: updating, reinstalling the client or rolling back to previous version applications; "authorization using"; reboot the router and set the time zone of your smartphone. The main thing is not to panic. In most cases, the problem resolves itself. If this does not happen and Insta continues to crash, then try using our tips. We are confident that you will succeed.

Subscribers look at photos not only in the feed, but also in accounts. To stand out from others, some users use the large picture technique. They take large image, which is cut into small pieces. It turns out to be such a joke, like this Micah404.

3. Links in account description

Now I’ll say a banality, but in publications, even if you insert a link, it will not be clickable. And if your PR person requires you to insert links, change your place of work or PR person. These are sick people, they can come up with something else wild.

Work with a webmaster, have him register a short domain for your site, and set up a redirect to the main site through the short domain. Let’s say you have a flower shop with the address cvetoteka.ru, short domain cvet.ok. Now on Instagram you can post a shortened page for some bouquet, for example, cvet.ok/rose.

4. Your own list of filters

Now there are over 40 filters on Instagram! I use 2. To clear the workspace, I can hide the filters, or change the order of the filters to a more convenient one.

Pinch the filter and drag it to a more convenient location or delete...

or scroll to the bottom of the list of filters and select Edit.

5.Filter intensity

You can get amazing results by clicking on the filter and changing the filter intensity. In addition, in this mode you can add a frame.

6. Edit your photo

If you don't like any filter, you can use fine editing. In filter selection mode, click "Edit".

7. Draft on Instagram

When you apply a filter to an image and want to go back, Instagram will offer to save the post to drafts. I made two drafts in the evening, and published them in the morning and at lunchtime.

8. Disable comments

Before posting, scroll down and click "Advanced Settings". Turn off the comment. Now your photo only gets likes. Convenient if you are constantly bombarded with spam comments.

9. Monitor posts from your favorite users

First subscribe to required account, then click on the settings button, and select “Enable post notifications”. If you have 2000 - 3000 subscriptions, such a button will help you not to miss really important publications. Also, this function can be used to monitor competitors or guard their comments and steal leads.

10. History of likes

You can always find a list of those posts that have been liked. This is how I check the quality of the mass liking service.

Go to your account settings, swipe down to “Posts you liked.”

11. Bookmarks

When I first learned photography, I would take hundreds of screenshots to capture an impressive shot. Now Instagram has bookmarks, and taking screenshots is not necessary.

12. Clear search history

By default, Instagram stores your search queries. If you were looking for a gift for your wife, and are afraid that your surprise will be revealed through the search, you can clear your search history and no one will find anything =)

Click on your account settings and scroll down to Clear Search History.

13. Subscription activity

Since ancient times, it has been possible to find out what your followers have liked, commented on, or followed. But few people use this to analyze their target audience. This way you can understand what your target audience likes, what’s trending now, and adapt your content plan.

In the notifications tab, click on “Subscriptions” and analyze the activity of subscriptions. This way you can find subscriptions that use mass following.

14. Multiacc

This is my favorite Instagram update of 2016. Now I can sit and monitor notifications, comments and messages from five accounts at the same time. Unfortunately, when you have five accounts connected, the application sometimes glitches and resets the account password or displays private messages and notifications to another.

In your account settings, find the “Add account” item, enter the login and password for the new account, and switch between accounts by clicking the avatar icon in the lower right corner of the application.

15. Share a link to an interesting publication with friends

16. Photo preview

When you're looking at someone's account, long-pressing on a post brings up the "preview" mode.

17. Enlarging a photo

Previously, it was impossible to see small details on the screen? Expand the post with two fingers.

18. Save photos

Sometimes you need to quickly pull out a photo that you recently posted on Instagram. Enable the “Save photos” and “Save videos” settings in your account settings.

19. Save other people's photos

SMMers should use user-generated content to improve their brand reputation. There are three ways to use a subscriber photo.

20. More than one filter per photo

21. Business account

Business accounts on Instagram were introduced recently, not everyone is still used to them, but there are already various myths:

• The coverage of publications is decreasing.
• The likelihood of getting into the Top by geo and hashtag is reduced.
• People are afraid of business accounts and leave them for normal accounts.

The SMM specialist must decide whether to transfer a regular account to a business account, I made my choice.

22. Clean up spam comments

The number of comments increases ER and, hypothetically, this is good for the account in the era of algorithmic feeds. Only spam comments with a job offer can spoil the entire impression of your account. It is better to delete such comments.

You can delete any comment on any post. I don't recommend deleting negativity. A properly processed negative comment sells like 4-5 good reviews.

23. Automatically control comments

If you're fed up with fake accounts spamming your account, or you don't allow people to swear on your account, you can set up automatic check comments on keys.

Every time I get a flood of spam comments, I choose keywords and add them to the list of prohibited comments.

24. Remove or hide tags on photos

Sometimes you need to remove some photos from your “self photo”, this is especially true for large brands that are constantly tagged in photos.

Go to “Photos of me” → select an unwanted photo → click on the tag → “Remove tag” you remove the tag from the photo; if you move the slider, the photo will not be displayed in “Photos of me” but the tag will remain.

25. Paragraphs or how to indent texts

Everything you write on Instagram can be held against you! Therefore, instead of readable text, you can get a sheet of letters.

To prevent this from happening, there should be no sign after the dot. Emoticons, spaces, letters, dashes, brackets are signs. Helps you compose text in notes or a notepad, and then paste it into Instagram. But it’s easier and faster to use our service. It doesn't break up lines and paragraphs don't slip.

26. Video with different scenes

You can create real sketches and meaningful videos using just the video camera app inside Instagram. It’s not as professional as inviting a videographer and shooting a video in six months, but it’s quick.

We pressed the shooting key, captured the desired scene, and pressed the key. You can continue filming further.

27. Video without sound

By default, videos on Instagram are broadcast without sound. If you were filming in natural conditions where there was a lot of unnecessary noise, better sound disable.
