Below, we have explained what the Instagram black screen means and how to fix it.

Why am I getting a black screen on Instagram?

The black screen on Instagram is caused by a glitch which emerges because the Instagram app is down. It won't let you see your feed or profile.

This is not the first time the Instagram black screen issue. It was first noticed in 2020 by users who enabled full keyboard access from their accessibility settings on iOS. However, it was fixed only to make its way back to the app in 2022.

Many affected users have taken to Twitter to tell others about their experiences.

How to fix the black screen on Instagram

Enabling full keyboard access on iOS could cause a black screen. If you are an iPhone user, you can disable full keyboard access from your device's accessibility settings or update the Instagram app. You can also delete and re-install the app.

  1. Disable full keyboard access

How to disable full keyboard access

Launch your Settings app and go to “Accessibility”. Open “Keyboards” and choose “Full Keyboard Access”. Now, disable the “Full Keyboard Access” option.

Only iOS devices have the full keyboard access feature. Hence, the fix will not work for Android devices.

  1. Update the app

Updating the Instagram app helps you fix bugs and glitches within the app. To update to the latest version., visit the Google Play Store or the App Store to check for an “Update”.

If you see an update from the store, apply it and see if the bug is fixed. The update should fix the black screen issue. Otherwise, you can try another fix discussed below.

  1. Delete and re-install the app

The Instagram Help Center recommends deleting an app and re-install it when troubleshooting. It is the most straightforward and most typical way to fix bugs and glitches on Instagram.

Re-installing an app will help you clear all outdated cache and help you update to the most recent release.

  1. Wait a while

Most issues caused by bugs and glitches on the Instagram app are only temporary. They get fixed once the problem is identified.

However, ensure you check for updates from the store. The reason is that Instagram always release updates to fix bugs and glitches. Hence, you may need to apply the update to get the black screen fixed.

Conclusion

The Instagram app is reportedly down by some users. Instagram is already looking into the issue and will fix it with time.
