Stop the Instagram application

When the Instagram app keeps crashing, the first option to try is to simply stop the application from the application list. On Android, tap on the application view icon, usually the third button with two pages symbol.

From there, tap on the cross on the top right corner of the Instagram application.

The application will be stopped, and you can try to start it again.

Force stop and clear Instagram cache

The next solution when Instagram keeps stopping is to go to phone settings > apps > Instagram, and there force the application to stop, and clear the application cache.

This will delete all the picture and other files that have been downloaded on Internet, and make the application start fresh. Your account will not be forgotten, and you directly open the Instagram application and log on again.

Restart phone if Instagram doesn’t work

If Instagram application keeps stopping, then it might be good to try to restart the phone.

Long press the power button, until the power menu show up, and select restart option to restart your phone.

This will clear the phone cache, meaning the applications already launched and stored in the memory, and will restart all applications, including Instagram that keeps stopping.

It might now work again.

Instagram update new version

The last resort before contacting customer support when Instagram keeps stopping, is to check on the app store if the phone has the latest version installed.

If it is not the case, then install the latest update of Instagram, and the Instagram application should work again.

If the latest version is already installed, then try uninstalling it and reinstalling it back. This might solve the Instagram application from keeping to stop working.
