Instagram app has been crashing for some Android users this week, and it isn't clear why.
This issue started happening around April 13th, 2021, when the Instagram app on Android devices received its latest update.
Following this incidence, many users are left stuck as the Instagram app wouldn't load properly on their Android devices or crash altogether.
BleepingComputer has confirmed this behavior when testing version 183.0.0.40.116 of the Instagram app on Samsung Galaxy devices.
"My business account hasn't been affected at all, it's fully functional. I've restarted my phone, manually turned off my phone and turned it back on after an hour, changed both my passwords, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, nothing has fixed the problem. Instagram hasn't helped at all," said one of the users of the Instagram Android app.
Last year, Instagram app had a bug that caused it to crash when parsing specifically crafted images.
