Instragam was introduced in 2007 By Facebook. It is one of the most popular applications which is used for sharing pictures and videos.
Nowadays everyone has an account on Instagram for personal and business use as well. Every social media platform has its own uniqueness and Instagram focuses on pictures and beauty.
No doubt, everything comes with advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes there are some technical issues or glitches which can cause problems in loading the feed.
The most common issue which is faced by users is “Couldn’t Load Activity”. Whenever this notification pops up in your feed you won’t be able to see anything except “Couldn’t Load Activity” and that is quite frustrating, to be honest.
In this article, we are going to answer some frequently asked questions by people. So stick with me to get all the solutions in one go.
Activity Feed
The activity feed on Instagram is like a newspaper, you get every important news there. It is a page that opens immediately when you open the app.
Sometimes that feed does not load and it happens for a certain reason. When there is a problem in loading your feed, a notification of an action block pops up.
When you receive an action block notification from Instagram it means that you are using your ID for multiple likings or your activity is usually more than normal activity.
This is why Instagram management blocks your account to rectify if you are using a third-party application. These errors are mostly caused by third-party applications. Which are used to increase the views or likes on your post.
These applications are not reliable, if you are using one of these avoid using it. Delete it from your phone. It will automatically enhance your experience in using Instagram.

Potential Solutions to Those Problems
Problems come with solutions, for Instagram’s potential problems, potential solutions are as followed:
Upgrade The Application
When we have turned off the option of auto upgradation in our device it affects the productivity of loading feeds. Try to check if your application is updated as per the recent version of Instagram or not.
There are chances if you are using an old mobile phone with the upgraded version of Instagram, that can cause crashes and glitches too.
Fix Your Internet Connection
If you are having a poor internet connection while using the application there are many possibilities you can see “Couldn’t Load Activity” on your screen. In this situation, you should restart your router or connect with any other connection to resolve this issue.
If you are using mobile data for social media applications on daily bases there are slight chances that you can face data leakage. Which affects Instagram to load recent feeds on your screen.
Try Restarting The Application
Restarting the application might work sometimes but it is not a permanent solution.
If you are still facing the issues try to log out from your account and log in again it can help you to avoid the “Couldn’t Load Activity” from your screen.
Reset your phone’s settings or restart your phone.
Grant all permission to your Instagram. Sometimes when you haven’t shared all the access there are slight chances you can face glitches on your activity feed.
Refreshing your activity feed again and again and still not seeing anything can cause frustration. Restarting your phone might help in this situation too. When your background applications are running while using Instagram, it can slow down the application.
Uninstall Any Application That Is Causing A Glitch
Any third-party application for increasing followers or likes or any other application which is connected to your Instagram can cause glitches or leak your data.
In case your account is connected to any third-party application, urgently uninstall it because these applications are not reliable and are a major reason for glitches or crashes.
Clear Cache And Other Sorts of Data
When you install any application, it stores some cache in your storage to provide a smooth transition or reduce the time of loading the page while you are using Instagram. Sometimes when your storage is full with cache can cause “Couldn’t Load Activity” or if there is any bug stored in the cache.
In this scenario, you can refresh it or clear cache data from your device which will help you to run your application smoothly.
If you will clear the app’s cache your app will directly log out of your current ID. Re-enter all the credentials again to log in.
Uninstall and reinstall the application
If your application is not working properly and continuously having Couldn’t Load Your Activity then eventually works perfectly, there are slight chances that you are using an old version of the application which is why it is not working properly or the device is not upgraded as per the application.
Most of the time people uninstall and then reinstall the upgraded version of the application. It helps to run the transition smoothly without any glitches.
Switch to Another Account
