Because we have all encountered that annoying error message when uploading photos on Instagram, we provide eight solutions to fix it and continue publishing our content in this article. Some are obvious, but that is precisely why we have to ensure that Everything is in order with our mobile, our connection, our account, and the content of our images before publishing them.
CONNECTION ISSUES
Sometimes connection problems are the cause of our not being able to post our photos on Instagram normally. It is usually the most obvious, but if we are away from home and the coverage is inadequate or connected to a Wi-Fi network with a very weak signal, this can work against us.
SERVICE DOWN
The recent global outages of Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp remind us that it’s not always all our fault. The servers of the social network may be suffering from some kind of problem, hindering their operation. We must only surrender to patience when this scenario occurs until the service is restored.
WRONG IMAGE FORMAT
Although it is much less frequent, we are likely uploading the wrong image format, especially if you work in photography and editing. Only JPG and PNG files can be uploaded to Instagram, so if it doesn’t let you post them, chances are they’ll end up in some other extension that makes them incompatible.
IMAGE SIZE
The photographs we take with our camera do not usually offer any problems. Still, suppose we want to publish a high-resolution image exceeding 30 MB. In that case, we will find ourselves with a barrier since this is the maximum size for images the application allows.
THE IMAGE VIOLATES THE TERMS OF USE
Users who try to post an image that violates the application’s terms of use will encounter a barrier since this social network has automatic filters that detect which images do not comply with its regulations. If you try to post images of nudity or explicit, graphic violence, you may not be able to upload them, so it’s a good idea to stick to the rules, or we will put our account at risk.
TEMPORARY BLOCK, DISABLED, OR BANNED
Related to the above, if our behavior repeatedly violates these rules of use, it is most likely that Instagram marks our account with a temporary block, disabled or banned. In these cases, there is little you can do except abide by the ban period and try not to cross the limits in the future (or create a new account, which is not always feasible if you already have a large following).
EXCESSÂ HASHTAGS
Those users who want to make their account gain traction in terms of the number of followers usually include many tags so that their photos can be found. However, you must remember that Instagram allows a maximum of 30 hashtags per post, so you must count again if you are at 31 or more.
NOÂ SPAMMING
In line with the above, it is common to find compulsive behavior when a user takes his first steps on the social network, quickly falling into spam. The desire to publish a lot of content very often makes Instagram detect that the pace is higher than recommended, so it can leave your account fallow for a few hours or a few days until the urge to post so much passes. Moderation is a virtue.
