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.

I have 4 accounts and my main one says "couldn't refresh feed" every time I got to my profile. I can't look at any of my feed. Please help me! I don't want to lose my account!
