“INSTAGRAM COULDN'T REFRESH FEED” (iPhone)

My Issue seems to be the same as everyone else's on this thread. I first noticed the issue about 10 days ago when out of the blue I was unable to refresh my Instagram news feed on my business profile. It's a white screen with the usual ‘couldn’t refresh feed’ at the top and I am unable to see anyones posts on my news feed. I will point out at this stage everything else in the app works perfectly. I have tried everything that has been suggested online on forums etc and I will list below what I’ve tried so far (in no particular order).

1) Updated Instagram App
2) Deleted app and re-installed it
3) Switched phone off and on again
4) Cleared history and website data (iPhone)
5) Checked all comments and hastags on every post for a double ##
6) Checked all comments for any emojis or symbols that shouldn’t be there
7) Logged in from my desktop computer and ipad, still not able to refresh feed.
8) I have logged into my personal account from the same device with no problems at all.
9) My wifi network and carrier network are fine and I’ve had no problems accessing other websites etc.

Thanks in advance for any help anybody may be able to give, and good luck to all others users in the same boat.

I've ud this in my feed for 5 days. I run multiple accounts and non of the others have this.
I have a few iPhones as well and it's only one accounts that this error shows up.

I've done all the fixes and msgd ig twice with no results.

Someone must have a fox by now!

You guys! I am going through the same thing! Started on Friday and I thought it was a network error while I was in the mountains! I'm home now and my feed is blank. I can see other people's posts, likes, comments and even my own profile, but not my feed! Help!

I'm having the same problem as everyone above. My personal account works fine but my business account that I am on most often displays the error no matter what I do in an effort to fix it.

I have two accounts, my main one is not loading only in the home page. It continually says Couldn't Refresh Feed. My profile page still works and I can search and like peoples photos. Every thing still works properly on the second account. Does this make sense? I have tried everything. Yesterday I deleted the app and downloaded again. Still same problem. Can you help?

It's the third day (since friday afternoon, now is sunday morning) I'm getting this error message in the Instagram app on my Android phone. Closed the app many times, restarted the device few times... Every app with web-needs is working fine but Instagram.
And ofcourse I've checked Instagram in the browser also, and there also just error message appears, nothing else.
The same error was with Facebook and Messenger too on friday afternoon, exactly when this first happened to Instagram, but since friday evening they are working fine.
So it's some huge error at the servers, not in my or our devices!

I have 2 accounts, my main one randomly started displaying 'could not refresh feed'. i can still post, look up users, check stories etc BUT I CANNOT SEE A NEWSFEED.

i have logged out of both account, logged back in, uninstalled, reinstalled, logged in on a friend's phone, all to no help.

WHY?!?!?

I have just a blank white screen in the app, uninstalled it 4 times, restarted my phone, Android device, cleared cache and data. It's been this way for about 5 hours now. I can search the search tool, see my own page and everything else works, still says can't refresh feed.
