As a general rule Instagram updates itself, but just in case we are going to indicate how update Instagram to the latest version The process is simple and will only take a couple of minutes out of our day, but you have to pay attention to the steps, so you don't have to repeat the process.
We say that Instagram updates itself, because it is the default option on Android. That is, when we enter the Play Store for the first time we can indicate if we want the applications to update themselves with WiFi, with data or indistinctly, or if we want to update manually.
The latter implies having to go to the Play Store every few days to see if there are updates or not.
If we want to change these settings, we must follow the following path:
-
We slide the Google Play Store side menu by clicking on the 3 horizontal lines. Now we click on "Settings".
- In the option "Update applications automatically", we choose the one we want and click on "Done".
Update the Instagram app in 3 clicks

- We open the application store of our mobile, depending on whether it is Android or iOS.
- In the case of Android, we slide the side menu and enter "My applications and games".
- Once inside, if there is any pending update from Instagram, it will appear above, otherwise it means that we have the app updated to the last version.
