Instagram only showing 12 posts

The way your temperature will boil might even heat water, but it’s all good, you’re not the first to experience this, and you won’t be the last.

This happens severally on Instagram, and showing twelve posts can be solved by clearing your cache.

However, other tricks also work best if you can’t solve it by clearing the phone cache.

That is why I suggest you read this guide until the very end because I will discuss three other simple and effective methods.

Don’t beat yourself up too much and feel like you have lost all your data because you could not find your Instagram posts.

Many glitches happen on Instagram because they serve billions of users (both active and non-active).

 

That is why we will deeply examine why Instagram is not showing you all your posts.

But before we dive deeper into the solution, you can adopt to solve this.

Why not let us look at some of the causes of this mistake in your account?

It might be because of a glitch from your phone or a mistake from your end and not even directly from Instagram.

Let’s jump right into that for a moment.

Causes of Instagram showing Few Posts

Several causes can be why Instagram might not show all your posts when you log in to your account.

Below are some of them.

1. Inadequate internet connection

If you don’t have an active internet connection,then your post on Instagram will not load, and you won’t see your recent post.

So you must ensure that your device is connected to a strong internet.

Unlike other social media apps, posts on Instagram pop up without warning. Instagram posts load themselves with the internet.

If the internet is not sufficient, then you will not have your post load.

2. Using the Old version Of the Instagram App

If you are still using the old version of the App, you will come across issues that will slow down the smooth running of the App.

The fact that there’s a new version of the App means there’s a problem with the old one, and if you keep using it, you might not get smooth results as you should.

You won’t be able to access all your post as you should. So,this is one primary reason why few posts are available on your account.

 

3. Glitch On the Instagram server

Most times, Instagram updates the App to add new features and fix some problems.

This might cause a glitch on the Instagram server, hereby making it not function as it used to.

This problem is from the server and can cause the number of your post to be limited.
