Easy Tech TutsHow To Fix Instagram Unlike Problem, Not Showing Like Bug Error 2026 Solved
By Impran M N
If Instagram posts show as unliked right after you tap the like button, without you doing anything, it's usually a connection or app version issue rather than an account problem. This guide covers the two main fixes to try.
01Check your internet connection
Make sure you're connected to a strong, reliable network — a weak connection can prevent Instagram from registering actions like liking or unliking posts properly.
02Update the Instagram app
Open the Google Play Store or App Store, search for Instagram, and tap Update if available instead of Open, since an outdated app is a common cause of this bug.
03Confirm the fix
After updating or refreshing your connection, try liking a post again to check whether the issue is resolved.
