Can I change my country on Instagram?

To check your main country, you'll need to enable location on your phone and leave it active for at least 14 days for Instagram. This way, Instagram will verify your country and add it as your current location.

Here's how to enable your location if you're using an Android phone:

1. Open "Settings" on your phone and go to "Apps and Notifications".
2. Find "Instagram" among the other apps and click on "Permissions" and "Location".
3. Choose the "Allow all the time" option, and you'll activate your location.

What languages does Instagram translate?

Recently, Instagram has added a new translation tool that lets you translate insta captions, comments and Instagram messages.
