Many iPhone owners are unable to open the Instagram app since the latest v255.0 update was available on iOS. It’s straightforward and closes right away. Instagram has not yet made clear whether it plans to roll out a fix.
Instagram has frequently occupied the spotlight in recent weeks, whether it was due to the restriction of nude photos in messages, or the extension of the maximum duration of stories from 15 to 60 seconds.
However, this time a rather annoying bug has put Instagram in the news. In fact, a lot of iPhone users (the majority of whom are using iOS 16 or later) are complaining on Twitter and other social media platforms that they can no longer open the app.
The Instagram app for iOS closes right away after opening, according to every testimonial. The typical workarounds, like restarting the phone, are ineffective.
Instagram no longer works on iPhones due to a bug in the latest update
The issue, according to the affected users, first surfaced after Instagram’s most recent v255.0 update went live on Tuesday, October 4, 2022. Strangely, iOS 15 users don’t appear to have this bug.
