Instagram Stories Recapped

Instagram Stories are a new feature on Instagram that lets you share shorter, more interactive posts that disappear after 24 hours. ..

Instagram Stories is a new feature that lets you document your day in a more creative way. You can post stories with text and drawing tools, and you can connect with your most active followers on a separate channel. If you want to know more about Instagram Stories, check out our guide What Is An Instagram Story & How To Make One. ..

1. The Problem Is With Instagram

Instagram is having trouble with their servers. They’re not saying what the problem is, but it seems like it’s something to do with Instagram Stories coming out blurry. Keep an eye on any official announcements to find out more.

2. Update the Instagram App to the Latest Version

If you haven’t updated your Instagram app in a while, it may no longer be properly compatible with the service. The latest update may also be fixed if the issue is caused by a bug that Instagram has discovered.

3. Your Image Is Formatted Incorrectly

If you don’t crop your image correctly, Instagram may crop it for you, which could result in a stretched or pixelated image. So it’s best to crop your image yourself before uploading it. ..

Instagram Stories videos and Instagram photos have a 9:16 aspect ratio. This limits these media to 1080×1920 pixels at the high-quality end of the scale. Your phone’s image editing app should have cropping templates for various aspect ratios, so choose 9:16. Your video size must be, at minimum, 600×1067. This offers good quality while saving on bandwidth. ..

Instagram will resize an image if it’s higher resolution than 1080×1920, but if the image is lower quality, it will be scaled up and the quality will suffer. A low-quality source will lead to a low-quality result. ..

To take the best photos, set your camera to take high-quality images and make sure the quality is the same in all of them. Don’t go too high with the quality settings, as this can cause image size to increase. ..

4. If Your Story Is Upside Down, Upload It Upside Down

We’re not entirely sure why this happens, but you can try to upload the images upside down in the first place so that they are correct once uploaded.

We’ve seen that it’s usually only one particular image in the group that turns upside down, so open it in your phone’s editing app and rotate it. Then upload it and see if that fixes the problem.

5. Disable Data Saving Features

Instagram is introducing a feature that will lower the quality of videos and photos to save on cellular data. ..

If you’re seeing photos that seem too blurry or low-quality, you can either switch to a Wi-Fi internet or turn off the mobile data saver feature.

If you want to reduce your mobile data usage, go to Instagram Settings > Account > Data Usage and toggle the “Use less mobile data” option. This will help you save on your monthly data bill.

6. Enable High-quality Uploads

If you’re not happy with the quality of your Instagram videos, you can change Instagram’s settings to upload a larger, better-quality video. This affects both Wi-Fi and mobile connections. Be aware that the video will take longer to process and upload.

If you’re using Instagram to share photos that are high quality, turn on the “High-quality uploads” option. This will help keep your images looking great on Instagram and help reduce the amount of data you use.

7. Send The Photo or Video to a Friend or Post it to Another Social Media Platform

Your phone’s camera may be blurry because the original content on your phone is blurry to start with. Try sending the content to a friend and have them tell you if it looks blurry at the other end. The source material has an issue if the photo appears blurry after sending it to a friend.

If you’re having trouble uploading your photo to Instagram, it may be because the app is not working properly or because the service is not compatible with your phone. If you have a Snapchat account, you can try posting your photo there instead.

8. Download a High-Quality Version of the Photo

If you’re having trouble taking good photos because your phone’s camera is low quality, you may want to check your Google Photos or Apple iCloud galleries to download the original quality images. It’s possible that if you have a data saver option enabled or you’ve restored your phone from a backup, the high-quality versions of the image haven’t been downloaded yet.

On an iPhone, when you browse your gallery for a photo, the full-quality version of the photo will automatically download and be displayed in a crisper format than the preview image. ..

If you’re an Android user, open the Google Photos App, search for the image you need, and then download it to your gallery automatically.

9. Test With a Fresh Photo

If you’re having trouble posting photos to your social media accounts, try taking a new image and sharing it with your stories. If that doesn’t work, it’s likely that there may be something wrong with your camera hardware, poor camera quality, or the camera app settings need adjustment. ..

10. Check Your Camera Settings

If your photos are blurry, it’s likely because your camera or camera app is not working correctly. The only real solution is to clean your lenses. ..

When it comes to your camera app, make sure that you are using the highest quality settings to ensure that your photos are of the best quality. Camera apps vary by brand and phone model, so there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to this. However, some tips to help improve your photos include using a tripod or a strong light source; taking advantage of manual controls; and using a RAW file for best results.

  1. Make sure you’re using the correct camera mode.
  2. Make sure the photo is in focus.
  3. Don’t accidentally shake the camera when taking your snap!

11. Take Photos With the Instagram Camera Itself

If you’re having problems with your photos or videos getting garbled in the upload process, it may be worth using the Instagram camera app rather than the default camera app. This way, you’re guaranteed that the format will be perfect and there’s no need for any quality loss during the conversion. ..

This means that you won’t get the best results from your phone’s camera software if you want to produce high-quality images. However, this is still better than a blurry or garbled image ending up in your story’s upload.

12. Try a Different Internet Connection

Some Instagram users have reported that having an unreliable internet connection can cause blurry uploads. Whether this is the case or not, it can’t hurt to switch internet connections and try again.

13. Delete and Reinstall Instagram

If you’re having trouble with your Instagram app, it might be because of some cached data that’s been left behind. Delete the app and try again from the store, to clear out any old data and start fresh. If everything is still messed up, you may need to reach out to Instagram for help.
