On my new Alcatel One Touch Android phone, Instagram videos just alternate flashing a reload symbol and the video camera image, but rarely play.
This could be a slow internet connection, but it could also be the phone speed itself. Try going into settings>applications>instagram>clear cache. That might speed things up a bit
Testimonial: "Thanks, Ryan. It could be internet speed, but my old LG Android worked fine with Instagram video. I upgraded to a brand new phone and had the problem since the first time I loaded Instagram, so cache shouldn't be an issue. (I did try that though)"
Another thing you might try is closing all tasks that you are not using. This can be done on phones that have Android 4.2 or higher by going into settings>smart cleaning (or something to that effect depending on manufacturer) and deleting temp files and download files (which can be done 1 by 1 if you have stuff you want to keep)
OK - thanks. This phone has 2 GB RAM, so should be plenty and video on Facebook plays immediately. I didn't know if there is a problem between Instagram and the latest version of Android or something.
old fast phone may be a better phone
for sure ram size. and CPU speed
age is not the factor only performance is.
hardware does that, only. (or slow wifi?)
first off my S20 can run wifi or 5G
if force it to wifi only it will be slow
what else is new there/ nada.
gee what if ONLY instagram has problems.
yah think>?
why blame any phone , if only one web site is slow, why? it be silly to do that.
why not just chill one day and try again.
there are 1 billion servers on the web now
some are slow because,,,,,
their servers are slow. (today
or the local web near that server is slow.(routing and switch structures)
or their servers are only overloaded NOW.
learn how the web works, then post?
or learn to check later,
no connections told at all (wifi or 5G or what)
wrong forum.
no phone told (model)
no connection told (is your wifi messed up?)
no service provider told, wifi or 4/5g/
no waiting a day to see them self correct omg so simple why not chill or drink beer.
No location stated, home, work or starbucks
are you in a 4G dead or weak zone.? or wifi channel overload try channel #6?
so FB works so , why not just blame Instagram
or OMG even call them and ask , "are you having service problems today?" WOW, BRAVE UP?
we can not do any of that, only YOU>!

I've just discovered that instagram is really a great platform and I even use https://igautolike.com/product/instagram-auto-comments/ to gain my audience but I also had the same problem as you. Even though, it doesn't bother me much so I don't mind it.
