Clear the Instagram Cache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the reasons for this problem is the cookies of Instagram. Sometimes these cookies that are stored on your phone don’t let you post photos and videos. To fix this situation, you have to clear the Instagram cache. It is done differently on iOS and Android devices. Let’s see how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Android<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To clear the cache on an Android device, here are the steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Go to the Settings of your device and then find the ‘Apps’ part.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Find the Instagram app<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Then tap on ‘Storage’ and select ‘Clear Cache.’<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That is it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On iOS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The steps on iOS are pretty similar to the Android one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Go to the Settings on your device, then go to General.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Choose iPhone Storage from General settings and search for Instagram.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. When you find Instagram, tap on ‘Offload App’ to clear the cache of Instagram.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Once you’re done, be sure to restart Instagram to see if you can post on the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Instagram Data Setting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Instagram has a data set that disables you from sharing too many posts. It is for saving your internet data. If you cannot post on Instagram, it may be because of the limit that Instagram sets. You can change the limit for this data set. Here is how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. From your profile page, go to Settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Tap on ‘Account.’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Search for ‘Cellular Data Usage.’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. You can change the limit from this page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Filled Space on Your Mobile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        One other reason why you cannot post might be because of the filled space on your mobile. If your mobile’s capacity is filled with too many documents, you may not post on Instagram. Try to free up some space on your mobile. You can do it by removing unwanted images, videos, or apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
