Welcome everyone guys, In this post, I will tell you how to fix Instagram story stuck at posting issue. Fed-up with this issue? Don’t worry we got you covered. Read the full blog and try all the steps to get a resolution.
Let me be clear so that you don’t waste much time, One method won’t work for everyone, you have to try all the methods and see which works for you.
Instagram Launch
Instagram (commonly abbreviated to IG or Insta is an American photo and video sharing social networking service owned by Facebook, created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger and originally launched on iOS in October 2010.
The Android version was released in April 2012, followed by a feature-limited desktop interface in November 2012, a Fire OS app in June 2014, and an app for Windows 10 in October 2016.
How to Use
The app allows users to upload media that can be edited with filters and organized by hashtags and geographical tagging.
Posts can be shared publicly or with pre-approved followers. Users can browse other users’ content by tags and locations and view trending content. Users can like photos and follow other users to add their content to a feed, a function that seems to be discontinued as of September 2020. Source – Wikipedia
What is Instagram story?
Instagram stories were first launched in August 2016 and now there are more than 500 million Instagrammers who use this feature every day. This feature lets you upload a story for 24 hours and after that, it gets vanished, You can upload as many stories you want in a day, but recently due to an Instagram bug/glitch, the Instagram story gets stuck on posting.
Recently I faced this issue and I didn’t know how to fix this issue. It is very annoying as this issue stays for too long. This is an example Instagram story stuck on posting error.
Problems you will face when this happens. It doesn’t let you switch account if you use multiple Instagram account on one device.
The second issue you will face is if you try to add more stories, it will also show posting and gets stuck.
Instagram stuck on posting and below given issues are one and the same. If you face any of the below issue, solution remains same for all the below issues.

To start with I would recommend you try basic techniques – Restart your Mobile and then check if your story is getting posted.
- Restart your Mobile
- Turn Wi-fi/Mobile Data On/Off
- Switch to Airplane mode for a while
- Close all the Apps and try opening Instagram again
Restart Your Mobile
Restarting your Mobile phone will help you restart each and every app on your mobile device. Whenever there is a technical or small glitch or even your mobile device acts funny for whatsoever reason, Restarting your mobile phone is the best option. Don’t try restarting your Mobile phone when there is something related to unsaved data
Turn Wi-Fi/Mobile Data On/Off
This step is Mandatory to check if your internet connection is working or not. Instagram may get stuck on posting if your internet connection is not working. We recommended you latch on to a stable connection. Turn your Wi-Fi/Mobile Data On-Off and check if it works.
Switch to Airplane mode
Try switching On Airplane mode for a while. When you Turn on Airplane mode, it disables all the connection. Our phones are connected to many devices, it can be Alexa, Bluetooth connected to one or more devices. Airplane mode is very helpful at times.
Close all the Apps and Open Instagram again
This is the first thing that you should do if you face problems like this. If you face any technical problem on one single application, try closing the all the application that are running in the background and open and check if it is working
After doing all the basic things also if your issue is not solved try following things
Force Stop
Go to your Settings > Apps & Notifications > Search for Instagram in search bar > Force stop
In the Menu option, long press Instagram app > Click on App info > Force stop
Clear Application (Instagram) cache
long press Instagram app > Click on App info > Storage > Clear Cache
Try all these steps if none of it works, we recommend to wait for some time and check some Instagram feed and waste some time and check back after a while.
AND THAT WORKED!!!
You might face this issue many times. It takes more than 24 hours to get resolved, and sometimes it gets resolved within 2-3 hours.
What I would recommend is don’t spend too much time on Instagram till that time and do something productive. If you are a social media influencer then do something on other social media.
