3. Free up Phone Storage Space
When the storage of your iPhone or Android phone is filled up, you can't upload to Instagram as well. For that, the only thing you need to do is to free up the storage space. Removing some apps that you don't need and transferring photos, videos, music etc. to desktop or cloud services.
4. Change Instagram Data Setting
IG data usage limit can limit what you can upload, how often to post your photos or videos, and how much data is used. If your Instagram post is stuck on sending, it might be an issue that the data limit is set too low. Frankly, raising the limit could get you out of the trouble.
In the Instagram app, go to "Profile".
go to "Settings" and tap "Account".
Scroll down until you find the "Mobile/Cellular Data Usage".
Choose High-resolution media to raise the data limit.
