Troubleshooting
Q: I can't find the download option in Instagram settings
- Make sure you're using the latest version of the Instagram app
- Try accessing Instagram from a web browser instead
- Look for "Account Center" in your Settings menu
Q: The download link expired
- Request a new download from Instagram settings
- Download links typically expire after a few days
- You'll need to create a new export request
Q: My data file is too large
- Make sure you selected only "Followers and following" in Step 10
- Clear all options first, then check only "Followers and following"
- This will create a smaller file that's easier to process
