What Is This?

An error that occurs on Instagram's side when trying to connect your Instagram account. This happens during Instagram's authorization process, before any data reaches Juicer, so the fix happens on your Instagram account.

How To Fix?

On Instagram, go to More → Settings → Meta Accounts Center (or click here), go to Your information & permissionsYour activity off Meta technologiesManage future activity (or click here), then…

  • ⛓️‍💥 Choose "Disconnect future activity",

  • ⏱️ Wait a bit,

  • 🔗 Switch back to "Connect future activity".

After that, try connecting Instagram to Juicer once more.

If Those Don't Work:

  • Log out of Instagram completely, wait 1 hour, log back in, then retry

  • Try from a different device

  • Try from a different network/location

  • Wait a few hours (sometimes it's a temporary Instagram outage)

Why This Happens

This is an Instagram/Meta infrastructure issue that affects multiple services across the industry (not just Juicer). It was reported to Meta multiple times, ¹ ² ³  but there's no official fix or acknowledgment.
