Time and date error on Instagram: why “The page is currently unavailable” appears and how to quickly fix it.
The additional information “This may be due to a technical error that we are currently fixing.
Please try to load the page again.” may indicate that there may be a technical problem, but often the cause of the problem is not immediately apparent.
Downloading the free Instagram app again doesn't help.
“The page is currently unavailable”: time and date as possible cause
An often overlooked reason for this problem can be the difference between the time on the Instagram app and the time on the smartphone.
This can particularly occur when:
The smartphone automatically switches between winter and summer time.
The date or time on the smartphone is set incorrectly.

Steps to solve: Change the date and time
To solve this problem, you should check the time and date on your smartphone and correct it if necessary.
Here are the steps one should follow:
Open your smartphone's settings.
Navigate to the “Date & Time” menu item.
Make sure the Automatic or Network Controlled option is checked.
This ensures that your
Smartphone gets the correct time and date from the mobile networks.
Restart your smartphone and open Instagram again.
After following these steps, the problem should be resolved and you can use Instagram as usual again.
It's important to note that such small settings issues can lead to larger problems in apps.
Therefore, it is always a good idea to check the basics when encountering unexpected problems.
