Hey everyone, need some advice or to see if anyone found a workaround.

Ever since updating Instagram to version 437.0.0 on my iPhone 8 Plus, the app completely refuses to open. Every time I tap the icon, it immediately crashes back to the home screen.

Here is everything I’ve tried so far (and none of it worked):

• Restarted my iPhone multiple times.
• Deleted and reinstalled the app normally.
• Went to Settings > General > iPhone Storage to Offload App, then reinstalled.
• Did a clean uninstall via iPhone Storage, restarted the phone, and downloaded it fresh.

I checked X (Twitter) and saw quite a few users complaining about the exact same issue over the last couple of days, affecting both iOS and Android.

Today (Monday), I saw a new update available in the App Store (v437.1). I was hoping it contained a hotfix, but unfortunately, after updating, the app still crashes immediately on launch.

Is anyone else experiencing this right now? If you managed to fix it, please let me know how. Thanks!
