The next move that you want to do in this case is to force close Instagram app. This can sometimes fix issues due to minor or temporary bugs that may have developed. This is how it’s done:

Minor problems caused by temporary bugs usually go away after restarting a device. If you haven’t tried it yet be sure to do so.

In restarting, we suggest that you simulate the effects of a “battery pull” rather than do a usual restart. This will ensure that the device is refreshed and its RAM cleared. To do that, simply press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons for about 10 seconds. Once the phone has restarted, release the buttons. This is usually effective in clearing bugs that developed when a system is left running for some time. We suggest that you restart your A80 using this method at least once a week to lessen the chances of bugs.

For some Galaxy A80, there may be a slightly different way to arrive at the same method. Here’s how:

  1. Press and hold the Power + Volume Down buttons for approximately 10 seconds or until the device power cycles. Note: Allow several seconds for the Maintenance Boot Mode screen to appear.
  2. From the Maintenance Boot Mode screen, select Normal Boot. Note: Utilize the volume buttons to cycle through the available options and the lower left button (below the volume buttons) to select. Also, allow up to 90 seconds for the reset to complete.
