Hi dear community. It's since a couple of days that I cannot share any photo from Lr mobile to my instagram feed. I get back only a message "unable to upload photo".

My instagram feed works properly if I upload photos from my phone and my Lr mobile seems properly updated.

Anyone can help me, please?

Thanks. Have a nice day!

Hi All,

 

Could you please update the Instagram app to 136.0.0.34.124 version and see if that helps to resolve this issue?

 

Let us know the status. 

 

Thanks,

Mohit

Hi,

which OS and LrM version do you use?
Did this occur after an update?
It would also be very helpful to know if this occurs to all kinds of files or just a specific type, e.g. JPG only?

Thanks,
Ignacio

Hi. I'm trying with Lr mobile v5.21 from my Xiaomi Redmi 8 with android 9.

I didn't do any update and the error occurs with jpg. I thought that the problem was that I was uploading a dng but no, the problem is not caused bu the file extension....

 

Thanks!

Hello Ignacio, 

 

I have a similar issue as Marcofoto, I am using LR mobile 5.2.1 and a Samsung S8 (Android v9). I tried sharing TIFF/NEF/JPG files on IG from LR with the same result, ie, unable to load.  I have uninstalled LR mobile and re-installed it but no improvement there. I have uninstalled Instagram and re-installed it as well. No improvement either. I have tried sharing photos that were already shared on Insta before, the problem still persists.

Lastly, I have tried sharing images from my Gallery (ie, not LR mobile) and I can share images (JPG) on IG feed, no issues.

Thanks for your help.

Same problem here, I only shoot DNG and it worked fine. Motorola G6 Play Android 9

Lightroom Android v5.2.1

Instagram 133.0.0.32.120

 

I try to share a photo from an album and choose Instagram, it goes to Instagram then I get the message "unable to upload photo".

I'm able to download the photo from Lightroom Android and post through the Instagram app. This just happened in the last 5 days (sorry, don't know if any of the apps updated)

Tried clearing cache and data from Instagram, uninstalling and reinstalling, same problem.

I'm having the same problem with my Huawei Mate 20 Pro. I've been using this phone for two years now and I never encountered this problem before.

I uninstalled and reinstalled LR and IG after restarting my phone, same thing- unable to load photo. Can somebody help? Thanks.

Same problem for me. Happened maybe two weeks ago.  Android S10. Have tried reinstalling both apps, have cleared cache and data from Instagram.  Lets me upload from LR mobile to FB no problems.  I also use the No Crop app before uploading to Insta sometimes, but I can't upload directly to Instagram from there anymore either (even if I've edited a photo directly from my phone instead of from LR.

I have also the problem that I cannot upload from Lr Mobile (Android Samsung S10) to my instagram feed since some days. Interestingly enough the sharing of pictures via instagram story is working without any problems.

I think this might be an Instagram problem rather than Lightroom, as I have the same problem uploading from the No Crop app.  I have reported the problem through the Instagram app. Hopefully lots of other people have too!

I also sent a message to Instagram. In the meantime I export the picture I want to post via the Instagram Feed from Lr Mobile into my Picture Gallery and upload it from there. Two more clicks, but for the time being... 😉

iPhone iOS 13.6.1 same problem. Don't say: "please update Instagram" as it cannot be upadated; it updates automatically.

It's not an issue with an Instagram update: it's the Lightroom v.5.4.1 6949FF/1 issue.

 

Thx
