Why photos don’t load on Instagram: we solve the problem quickly

Application problems

Problems with uploading photos may arise directly from the Instagram application itself. This happens quite rarely, and that is why it is not possible to resolve this issue quickly and easily.

First of all, stay tuned for app updates. Many users, for various reasons, disable automatic application updates (internal memory, traffic, etc.). In such cases, you need to frequently check for new versions in your AppStore or PlayMarket and download the new version yourself. Make sure the application loads completely.

Another reason could be a full cache. This rarely disrupts the photo program's loading process, but it can slow down your smartphone. You can clear the cache by going to the device settings. To do this, go to the tab with applications, find the treasured Instagram among them, go into it and find the “clear cache” or “clear memory” button.

Well, we've sorted out the application, let's look at the option when the problem is in your device.

Failed to load VK image, what should I do?

The social network Vkontakte allows users not only to share personal messages, but also photos.
Publishing pictures has become an integral part of every person’s life, because it is important to show someone how fun a person had on vacation or abroad. But it happens that the picture for some unknown reason stops opening. What to do? In today's article we will talk about what to do if you were unable to upload an image to VK.

Let's look at why this error “Failed to load. Please try again later" and we will find ways to solve it

Failed to load VK image

The image does not meet the requirements of the social network

When a user wants to publish a photo on his page, he must know that the image must meet the requirements of this social network.

  • The photo must be in formats such as JPG, PNG or GIF.
  • Moreover, the image must weigh up to 5 MB; if the frame does not meet all these requirements, the photo will not be uploaded.

Problems in the Browser

Sometimes it happens that it's all about the browser.

Typically, this problem is common among those who use the Opera browser, which has Turbo mode enabled. For the image to load, you just need to disable it.

The reason could also be that the browser is too old. By updating it to a new version, everything can return to normal. In addition, you need to go to the “Settings” section and see if JavaScript support is enabled.

Poor internet connection

If all these actions still do not answer the question: “The VK image could not be loaded, what should I do?”, then here is another solution. Perhaps it's all about the Internet connection. Either it's too slow, or it's all about the programs you've enabled.

To check how things really are. It is necessary to turn off all extraneous software. In addition, exit the anonymizer and proxy servers; because of them, it may also happen that the pictures do not load.

For example, torrent trackers can eat up your speed channel even if you don’t download anything. As well as clients and auto-updaters of client games.

Problems on the VKontakte side

Before blaming your provider, browser and computer for everything, you should first make sure that the whole issue is possible in the site itself. Several tens of millions of people use the social network, and it is clear that the load on the service is heavy.

Therefore, you just need to wait a while and only then will you be able to upload your photo.

If an error occurred when downloading a file: it was not possible to load a VKontakte image, you already know what you need to do for this.

Phone problems

The Instagram application itself is not demanding on the operating system (hereinafter referred to as OS) of the device, but there are still limitations.

For optimal operation, the latest OS versions are sufficient: iOS 9 and higher, Android 4.1 and higher. You can also check the version of your system in the settings (phone information).

If your OS meets these requirements, but the application is not stable, you should free up memory on your device: delete old and unnecessary applications, media files (music, photos, videos, etc.). Use various types of “clean” wizards that will analyze your device and show optimization methods. As a last resort, if it was not possible to clear the memory, you can “Hard-reset” the device, that is, completely clear the memory and return it to the state in which it was immediately after purchase. I recommend that you do a reset only when absolutely necessary, because after such a reset, SMS, contacts, and data from all applications are erased. This data can be stored in the cloud, but this article is a little different.

We have examined cases that depend largely on the device, now we will consider problems associated with the Internet connection and the Instagram account itself.

Reasons why you can’t upload photos to the Avito website

18.10.2017

Why are photos not loading on Avito?

Thanks to the Avito website, any user can post their ad for free without leaving home. When working with Avito, as with any other service, many people encounter various kinds of problems that prevent them from posting ads. For example, it is not always possible to upload your photos to the site.

Internet problems

Connection problems may occur if the device:

  • Located outside the mobile network coverage area. Why are photos loading poorly? If you are outside the network access area (tunnel, highway, etc.), the connection will either be very poor or not exist at all. In such cases, the phone will not load posts. Then you just need to “catch” the connection - change the location of your device. To do this, keep an eye on the connection quality indicator in the upper corner of the device screen.

Different operators have different coverage areas. Choose those operators with whom you can always stay in touch. You can find out about the “coverage area” from your operator (MTS, Megafon, etc.).

  • Does not have access to the mobile network. Why are the photos not loading, because the network is excellent? Perhaps you did not pay for the mobile Internet service or did not connect it. Then access to the Internet will be closed. In such cases, you need to contact your network operator.
  • Located far from a Wi-Fi point. If, for example, you are sitting in a cafe on the street and decide to post a photo on Instagram via Wi-Fi, remember its coverage area. If you are far from the Wi-Fi router, the connection will be interrupted or completely lost. You can find out about the quality of the connection by the indicator in the corner of the screen.

  • Does not support the router's Wi-Fi frequency. You are unlikely to encounter this problem, but you need to be aware of it. If your router is too old and your device is too new (or vice versa), there may be a conflict between the standards of your device and the Wi-Fi source. Here you need to either buy a new router or a new device.

The photo in Odnoklassniki does not load and gives a server error

When you try to boot from your computer, does the system give you a server error? Probable reasons:

  1. A hardware failure has occurred.
  2. Various problems affecting the functioning of the site.
  3. Technical work is being carried out.

It may take several hours to restore service. You just have to wait for the problem to be resolved. You can additionally write to support to report an error.

Solution 4: Change your YouTube username

YouTube has a glitch where if the username is automatically generated by the website, for example if your email ID is used as the username, you may encounter the error discussed. In this case, changing your username may solve the problem.

  1. Change your YouTube username.


    Change username for YouTube

  2. Then check if you can leave comments on YouTube videos.

Solution 1: Disable the Adblocking extension

You may not like ads, but ads are YouTube's main source of revenue, so YouTube doesn't "like" Adblocking extensions. You may encounter a bug at hand if you are using an ad blocking extension. In this case, the solution to the problem can be either disabled or whitelisted by YouTube in the ad blocking extension settings. To illustrate, let's discuss the process for Chrome.

  1. Open your Chrome browser and click "Vertical Ellipses" (3 vertical dots) in the top right corner of the window.
  2. Now hover your mouse over More Tools and then from the sub-menu shown, click on Extensions.


    Open Chrome Extensions

  3. Now find and disable the Adblock extension.


    Disable Chrome Extension

  4. Then open the YouTube website and check if there are any errors.
  5. You can also whitelist a website in your ad blocking extension.

Date and time settings

A non-obvious reason why photos are not loaded on WhatsApp is that the date and time set on the smartphone do not match the time zone data. This small detail can cause messages to not be delivered on time, causing the application to malfunction or stop working.

If this is the reason why photos are not loaded on WhatsApp, you should determine the exact time of the current time zone and set it in the settings. You can also enable the default network date and time.

Solution 5: Post a comment after playing the video for some time

YouTube makes ongoing efforts to prevent spammers from leaving comments. One such step is to prevent a user from leaving comments on a video if it has not played or only played for a few seconds. In this context, playing the video for at least one minute and then posting a comment may solve the problem.

  1. Open YouTube and play the problematic video.
  2. Now let the video play for at least one minute (without forwarding) and then check if you can leave a comment (without stopping the video).


    Play videos for a longer time

  3. If not, try pausing the video exactly when you want to comment, and then see if you can leave a comment.

What videos can be uploaded to YouTube?

You can add any videos to Youtube. But they should not contain:

  • Scenes of violence and cruelty.
  • Scenes of erotica and pornography.
  • Calls to commit illegal actions.
  • Insults on national and religious grounds.
  • You must have copyright for the video. If you upload content that is not yours, the video hosting will immediately figure it out and block it or even your channel.

YouTube video won't load due to copyright issues

  • The content description must match the content. It is not allowed to mislead or deceive people.
  • The publication should not contain a lot of advertising.
  • It is prohibited to spam and use cheats.

Solution 2: Disable VPN Client/Extension

In the IT industry, it is common to use a VPN to bypass restrictions imposed by Internet providers or websites. Moreover, VPN provides the user with an excellent opportunity to maintain their privacy from prying eyes. You may encounter the error discussed (especially in the case of a mobile app) if you are using a VPN client/extension to access YouTube, as sites like YouTube or Netflix discourage its use. In this case, disabling the VPN client may solve the problem.

  1. Disable your VPN client or browser extension.
  2. Now launch your browser/mobile app and check if you can leave a comment on a YouTube video.

Device memory full

Of course, if you use a PC, this problem most likely will not occur, but users of mobile devices may suffer from full disk space or RAM. As a result, the application is unstable and crashes when trying to post a new post.

How to fix it? Clean your gadget of debris and reboot it. This way you can free up enough both RAM and internal memory.

Memory

Perhaps WhatsApp does not load photos due to insufficient free space in the application cache or phone memory in general. You can check this by going to “Storage Management” in Messenger

And in “Storage” in the phone settings.

If there is not enough space, you should clear the memory using the “Cleanup” utility in the “Security” section. If the application storage is full, it is worth deleting the most unnecessary and heavy media files.
