Sorry There Was a Problem With Your Request Instagram

There is no doubt that Instagram is one of the popular social networking services for sharing photos and videos that are always error-free. Different problems may arise on Instagram due to various circumstances or reasons. I recently disconnected from Instagram automatically, and when I tried to log in again, there was an error saying “Sorry there was a problem with your request Instagram”. I thought there might be something wrong with my network connection or server, resolved soon.

I tried to log in after a few minutes, but still, I received the same error. Nor was it a filtering problem since I even tried to use Instagram with a VPN. Then I tried reinstalling Instagram, so I uninstalled it and installed it again, but the error was not resolved. I searched it on Google and discovered that Instagram banned my IP address and unfortunately I could not access my Instagram account from the official application.

This article is about solving the Instagram error “Sorry, there was a problem with your request.” Probably many of us have been facing this error while using Instagram. I can understand how you feel in such a situation. Let me share my experience with you.

Why the error “Sorry, there was a problem with your request” occurs

There are several reasons why this problem occurs and does not allow you to access your Instagram account. Violation of Instagram guidelines and policies also introduces such an error. The second reason why you are going to experience such problems is a problem with Instagram servers. In addition, a weak Internet connection can create such a problem.

After visiting several websites, forums and discussions, I gathered information about the error and discovered some of the best ways to get rid of this problem. You just need to follow these methods to solve this problem. Let’s take a look at a solution.

Method 1: log in through a Facebook account

This is the easiest way to get rid of this error. You must connect your Facebook account with Instagram to resolve this error.

• Open the Instagram website on any web browser on your mobile phone.
• Log in to your Instagram account through the browser.

• Open your Instagram settings and connect the Facebook account you created previously.
• Now delete the Instagram application data on your own device.
• After that, open the Instagram application.
• Log in with Facebook on Instagram.

That’s! Your Instagram account will be registered correctly and you will no longer receive the error “Sorry, there was a problem with your request”.

Method 2: Temporary Disabling Account

This method is based on disabling your Instagram account for a different period.

• Log in to your Instagram account through the website or desktop browser.
• Go to your profile.
• Touch edit profile.
• Touch Temporarily disables my account.

• Find the “factory reset” option.
• Proceed to restart.
• Once your device is reset, download and install Instagram again.
