2. Reinstall Instagram: Go to the App Store, search for Instagram, and download it again. This will clear the app’s cache and data.

1. Profile: Open Instagram and go to your profile.
2. Settings: Tap the three horizontal lines in the top right corner and select “Settings.”
3. Log Out: Scroll down and select “Log Out.” Confirm the action, then log back in.
Additional Tips:
