Instagram won't load without having Wi-Fi

I have an iphone 5, with tmobile as my carrier.everytime i go out and i don't have Wi-Fi, my feed won't refresh. All it says is "can't refresh feed" and i can't upload pictures or videos. This is the only app i'm having problems with! I can use my cell data no problem on every other app but this one.

See if there's an update available in the App store. If not delete it and download it again. If none of that works your cell data might not be sufficient enough for the app.

This sounds like your phones carrier has some bad DNS servesr for instagrame or has even blocked it deliverately for some reason.

Try changing the DNS server ip address on your phone to use Google's DNS, the ip addresses are:

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

You can see here how to change the DNS:

I think dats no about Wi-Fi, its usually happened. You just need to uninstall thats app, and install it again from appstore and restart your phone.

Try quiting the app from the running processes and open it again once your are out of range from your remembered Wi-Fi network. Also make sure that your Wi-Fi is switched off in your cell phone for instagram to work. If it still won't work then you might have to call T-Mobile or walk in there outlet for rectification.

  • Why won't YouTube videos load on my iPhone 4s? Since yesterday I've had the problem that when I go on the preinstalled YouTube app and try and play any video the video will not load at all and keeps pausing every 2 seconds. It's absolutely nothing to do with my Internet connection because my Wi-Fi is really good and I can get onto the Internet quickly. Also anything else that requires Internet on my iPhone runs fine. Anybody have any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to solve it?
  • Why won't youtube load on my iphone? I have an iPhone 4s and for the past couple of days I go onto my youtube app to look at a video but it never loads. I have perfect service and sometimes I'm connected to a router which has perfect service so what's going on here?
  • Why won't Instagram load photos? When I want to upload a photo from my iPhone's photo library, Instagram only loads the five most recent ones that I have taken. Where are the rest of them and how do I get them to show up?
