Instagram stories not uploading? Try This
A few days ago, I uploaded a story on my Instagram account, then I thought that this story will be successfully uploaded. But a few hours, later when I checked my story it was not uploaded and I was totally surprised, and a symbol coming down on my Instagram story post that was in a rotating circle.
I waited for some time. But even that nothing was happening my update was stuck at posting. Now I wanted to delete this story and upload it again, but there was no option to delete it. I was not understanding anything then, so I thought to switch to another account and my story post might get deleted.
Guess what? You cannot switch to another account until the story upload to your account is successful. Luckily, I fixed my issue with one of my solutions which is given below.
