Buying Instagram views is an effective way to boost the number of people who view your posts and profile. You can choose and buy instagram views whether to purchase views from targeted countries or get your content viewed worldwide. Prices vary, but you can expect to pay about $2 per hundred views. You do not need to give your password or other information in order to buy Instagram views. The good news is that you do not have to wait days for your video to receive the desired amount of views.

Tonight I got the dreaded " Oops, an error occurred. " when I tried to go to my instagram account (you should follow me at ig/lexcoulstring) . I tried the method resetting my password and like most of you it never worked. Here is the situation a) Its not your password, you are not banned and you are not deactivated. If you have another IG account login to that (which should work) and go to your broken account. You should see it. It's also not your Iphone, Samsung phone, other phone or you desktop. I tried all of them. b) You may of done one of these things. You changed your account to professional or you are getting close to 10,000. That was my case but I am not sure if it was the cause of my issue c) In my case, my Instagram is connected to my Facebook page (also lexcoulstring ;) ) So for me, Facebook was part of my solution. If this speaks to you. Then follow these steps. 1. Login to your Facebook account that is connected to your broken Instagram account. 2. You need to check to see if Face Recognition is turn on. Go to top and click right icon (could be your avatar or those 3 little lines) -> scroll down to Settings & Privacy -> Settings -> Profile Settings -> Face Recognition. If you don't see it like I didn't, login to Facebook on your PC desktop. I found it there. Mine was set to No. So Change it to Yes. (if it was Yes, maybe click no then yes again) 3. This is important. Back on your phone (I'm using my Samsung Android) go to your App Settings -> Apps -> Instagram -> Permissions. Make sure all but phone is Allowed and go to Storage and click Clear Cache. 4. Before the next step, I turned off my WiFi and used my Data just because I wasn't sure at the time whether my IP was flagged or banned. It's up to you. I think you should. Also the source I got this fix from ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNcltfbb2AM Thank you ImfHope) said to wait 10 hours. I didn't wait at all. Now open your Instagram app. 5. I was prompted first to login (use your latest password you changed since you probably changed it many times like I did) 6. You "should" see "position your face in the circle" Instagram Image Verification. I'm not sure what triggered my account but I'm reaching 10,000 followers and from the little research I did, it seems to be the point where you need to be verified by your face. It's clunky. I just kept tilting up and down side to side until I saw the damn left arrow and slow turned that direction and then tried to follow the other arrows. It's like that board game Simon. 7. You should eventually see a completed message and a Submit button. It took me 3 attempts because the Loading..... was just hanging. It will work. Then you are in. Back to normal. for now. I find Instagram to be useless for support. There is no Official release from them regarding the Oops, an error occurred bug because it is a bug. And you can't contact them unless you are reporting a hack or an inactive account. But I trully hope this helps you
