Take note:
Instead of “Update,” the button will read “Open” if the Instagram app is already updated. You may download Instagram by tapping the “Get” button if you don’t already have it installed. A cloud button will appear so you may re-download the app if you have already done so.
After the update is complete, you can either press Open to access Instagram or tap more to view the details of the upgrade.
An Updates option may appear in the bottom menu (based on your iOS version) if you haven’t enabled automatic updates for your iOS applications. Instagram and other apps may be updated individually or in bulk using the touch feature.
If you want to see all of your applications at once, you may use the profile icon on the top right. Scroll down until you see Instagram, and then press Update next to it.
