"400 Session Invalid" Error - Instagram Connection

Instagram's bug, our workarounds

Updated over 2 weeks ago

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 there's nothing we can fix on our end.

What to Try

Most Successful Method

  1. Switch to cellular network (not WiFi)

  2. Open Instagram's mobile website in your phone's browser (not the app)

  3. Log into Instagram

  4. Wait 5-10 minutes

  5. Try connecting again

Other Solutions

Quick Fixes:

  • Try incognito/private mode

  • Use a different browser

  • Clear browser cache and cookies

If Those Don't Work:

  • Log out of Instagram completely, log back in, wait 1 hour, 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). We've reported it to Meta multiple times, but there's no permanent fix available since the error occurs on Instagram's servers.
