How can I fix Instagram login issues on my iPhone?

Hello, my phone seems to be having a problem. Ever since I logged out my Instagram account on my phone I could no longer log in again. It keeps saying incorrect password even though it is correct. I have tried logging in on different devices and even successfully logged on my Instagram using safari. Is it my phone's problem or Instagram? How do I fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the response. I understand that Instagram isn’t an Apple product. I was just hoping someone might’ve experienced something similar on their iPhone. The strange part is I can log into my Instagram just fine on Safari and on other devices, it’s only the Instagram app on my iPhone that keeps saying the password is incorrect, even though it’s definitely right.

Frustrating, I'm sure. But you need to contact Instagram support about this. The only thought I have is to suggest you delete the App, then download it again from the App Store and see if you can sign in. If that doesn't work, contact them. More people come here with issues with Meta owned apps (Instagram is owned by Meta). They have such buggy applications and often have to update their apps many times every month.

Hey buddy, if you can’t log into Instagram on your phone no matter what, but it works just fine on Safari or other devices, then chances are the problem is with your phone, not your account.


✅ Here’s what you can try:

1. Clear Instagram’s cache or check your network settings

2. Uninstall and reinstall the Instagram app


These two steps should fix the issue in most cases.

If it still doesn’t work, it might be an iOS system issue. In that case, you’ll need to either wait for an iOS update or reset your iPhone.

Official Apple Support

Of course, you can also try using a tool to help fix the problem more efficiently.

Hope this helps!

Hi Chris, thank you for your response! I'm not using a password manager I just type the password manually, and I'm 100% sure it's correct. I can log in using Safari, and on different devices using the Instagram app, but the Instagram app on my iPhone keeps saying the password is incorrect.


Do you have any idea what might be causing this or how I can fix it on my phone? I’d really appreciate your guidance—thank you again!
