Here’s the crux of the article in video form:
With more than 1.4 billion users worldwide, Instagram is the fourth most popular social media network on the planet and the fifth most visited website on the internet.
Last year, it generated $47.6 billion in revenue, accounting for almost 50% of Facebook’s total revenue.
While things seem to be going good on the financial side of things, users often face issues like ‘Add Yours’ Chain Story sticker not working and some users unable to post Stories using camera.
That said, many Instagram users are now complaining that the Explore page is resetting or showing nature images (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10).
According to those affected, the platform ignores all content preferences and suddenly starts showing generic content like you would see on a fresh account.
With some reports dating back months, it looks like the problem has been affecting users for quite some time now.
While Instagram is yet to officially comment on the matter, we stumbled across a few workarounds that might help fix the Explore page resetting issue.
The first one requires users to head over to the Explore page and refresh it by pulling from the top of the page a couple of times like you would refresh your feed (five to six times).
If this did not fix the problem, try restarting the app since it usually fixes the problem.
We hope Instagram developers soon find out the root cause of the issue and resolve it in the coming days. As always, we will be keeping tabs on the matter and let you know when we have more information to share so stay tuned.
