Try the troubleshooting tips below if Instagram fails to open web links on your Android or iOS device.

1. Check Your Internet Connection

Instagram might fail to open website links on a slow, unstable, or weak internet connection. Switch to a Wi-Fi network if you’re using cellular data and open the link again.

Reboot your router or contact your internet service provider if the issue persists. Refresh your cellular and Wi-Fi connection by putting your phone in and out of airplane mode.

Swipe up from the top of your Android device’s screen and tap the airplane icon to enable airplane mode. Wait 3-5 seconds and tap the icon again to turn off airplane mode.

Alternatively, head to Settings > Network & internet (or Connections), toggle Airplane mode on, and turn it back off.

If you use an iPhone, open the Settings app, toggle on Airplane Mode, and turn it back on after a few seconds.

Reconnect your phone to the internet via cellular data or Wi-Fi, open Instagram, and check if the app opens web links.

If you’re using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), turn it off, and try opening the link again. Also, check your router, firewall, or proxy app settings for website restriction—especially if Instagram won’t open links to specific websites.

2. Clear Instagram’s Browser Cookies and Data

Instagram saves data from websites or links you visit in the in-app browser. Instagram might fail to open links if the browser’s data over-accumulates or gets corrupted. Clear Instagram’s browser data might get the app opening website links again.

Clear Instagram’s Browser Data (Android)

Open any website link on Instagram and follow the steps below.

1. Tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner and select Browser settings.
2. Tap Clear on the “Browsing data” row to clear Instagram’s in-app browser data.

Close the browser, reopen the link, and check if Instagram loads the website. Restart Instagram and open the link again if the issue persists.

Clear Instagram’s Browser Data (iOS)

Open any link in the Instagram app and follow the steps below.

1. Tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner and select Browser settings.
2. Tap Clear cookies and cache in the “Browsing Data” section.

3. Select Clear browsing data on the confirmation pop-up to continue.

Close the browser and revisit the web link. Close and reopen Instagram if the browser still doesn’t load the website.

3. Force Close and Restart Instagram

Force close Instagram on your phone if the app doesn’t respond when you tap website links.

Force Close Instagram on Android

1. Tap and hold the Instagram app icon on your device’s homepage or app library.
2. Tap the Info (i) icon to open the Instagram app info page.
3. Tap Force stop and select OK on the pop-up.

4. Tap Open to restart Instagram and check if you can open links in the app.

Force Close Instagram on iPhone

If your iPhone has Face ID, swipe up from the bottom of your screen and stop in the middle of the screen. Locate Instagram in the App Switcher and swipe up the app to close it.

Double-click the Home button to open the App Switcher on iPhone SE, iPhone 8, or earlier models. Swipe up Instagram’s preview to close the app.

4. Use Your Phone’s Default Browser

Instagram blocks certain types of links—e.g., shortened links and links to platforms sharing explicit content or spam. You might also encounter trouble accessing links to other social media platforms like Telegram and Snapchat through Instagram.

If Instagram doesn’t open specific websites, try opening the links in your phone’s default browser or any external web browser.

On Instagram for Android, tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner, and select Open in [Browser Name].

Alternatively, tap the menu icon, select Share via…, choose your browser in the share menu, and select Open in [Browser Name].

You can also copy Instagram links and open them in your preferred (external) browser. Tap the menu icon in the Instagram browser and select Copy link. Paste the copied link in your preferred browser to visit the website.

In the iOS Instagram app, tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner, and select Open in system browser.

Want to change your phone’s default browser? See our tutorial on changing default browsers on iPhone and Android devices.

5. Update the Instagram App

Instagram might malfunction if you’re running an outdated version of the app on your device. Updating Instagram to the latest version can restore broken functionalities to normal.

Open the Play Store (Android) or App Store (iPhone), search for “Instagram,” and tap Update to update Instagram.

6. Clear Instagram App Cache and Data (Android)

Delete Instagram’s cache or data if you still can’t open web links after updating the app.

1. Press the Instagram app icon on your home screen or app library. Select the Info (i) icon on the pop-up menu.
2. Select Storage.
3. Tap the Clear cache icon to delete Instagram’s cache files on your device.

Restart Instagram and check if the app opens website links. Clear Instagram’s app data (see step #4) if the issue persists.

4. Return to Instagram’s storage info page (see steps #1 and #2) and tap Clear data.
5. Select Delete or OK on the pop-up to proceed.

Reopen the app, sign into your Instagram account, and try opening website links in DMs, bios, or stories.

7. Contact the Instagram User or Page Admin

Web links won’t open in Instagram (or any browser) if broken or expired. If someone shared the link via direct message (DM), ask if they can access the webpage in their Instagram app or web browser.

If they can, you likely have the wrong URL/link. Request a new link from the sender/user or report the glitch to the website administrator. If an Instagram bio link isn’t clickable, text the user or page admin to send the link via DM.

8. Report the Problem to Instagram

If Instagram still won’t open links, there’s likely an unresolved bug or technical problem with the app. Report the issue to Instagram through the app’s settings menu. Open your Instagram profile and follow the steps to send a bug report.

1. Tap the hamburger menu icon in the top-right corner and select Settings and privacy.
2. Scroll to the “More info and support” section and tap Help.

3. Select Report a Problem.
4. Select Report problem without shaking.
5. Tap Include and continue to include information about your device, account activity, and network logs in the report. Otherwise, select Don’t include and continue to proceed.

6. Describe the issue you’re experiencing or type details of the link in the dialog box. If you’re getting a specific error when opening a link, attach a screenshot of the error in your report.
7. Tap Send in the top-right corner to post your report to Instagram.

Access Webpages on Instagram

Uninstall and reinstall Instagram if the app still won’t open web links. Also, watch the Instagram page in your device’s app store for an update.

1. Check Your Internet Connection

Your connection speed has a direct impact on Disney+ streaming quality and performance. Unstable, slow, or inconsistent internet connection can cause video buffering, audio lag, and other streaming issues. Connectivity issues can also trigger several Disney+ error codes, preventing you from streaming movies or shows.

Disney+ recommends a 5.0 Mbps download speed for High Definition (HD) content and 25.0 Mbps for 4K content. Visit fast.com or speetest.net on your Fire TV web browser or any device connected to your network.

Restart or reset your Wi-Fi router if your download speed falls below Disney+ recommendation for the content quality you’re streaming. Switch to a lower video quality or contact your internet service provider if your connection speed still doesn’t meet the recommendation.

Switch to a different Wi-Fi network with a faster download speed that meets Disney+ recommendations.

2. Check for Server Downtime

There’s likely an issue with Disney Plus servers if the streaming app doesn’t work on your Fire TV and other supported devices. Check the Disney+ status page on Downdetector for possible server downtime or outage.

Server downtimes are often resolved quickly, so Disney+ should be back working on your Fire TV in no time. Contact Disney+ Help Center if the server downtime persists for hours.

Disney+ can also temporarily restrict access to the streaming service if it detects suspicious activities (e.g., repeated failed login attempts) from your IP address. Likewise, the streaming service sometimes displays specific error codes if it receives unusually high traffic from your IP address or to a specific movie title.

Restart your Fire TV and your router if you keep getting any of the following error messages:

• Due to a high number of requests, we have temporarily throttled traffic from your IP address. Please try again later (Error Code 91).
• Due to a high number of requests, we have temporarily throttled traffic from your IP address. Please try again later (Error Code 92).
• We’re sorry, but we cannot play the video you requested. Please try again. If the problem persists, contact Disney+ Support (Error Code 41).

3. Force Close and Relaunch Disney Plus

Force closing a malfunctioning app can get it working correctly again. Force close Disney+ if the app occasionally or constantly freezes or crashes on your Fire TV.

1. Select the gear icon in the top-right corner of your Fire TV home screen.
2. Select Applications in the Settings menu.

3. Choose Manage Installed Applications.

4. Select Disney+.

5. Select Force stop to terminate the Disney Plus application.

6. Wait 5-10 seconds and select Launch application to reopen Disney+ Plus.

4. Restart Your Fire TV

Rebooting your Fire TV can resolve temporary system glitches and app malfunctions. Performing a device reboot also frees up memory for applications to run smoothly without issues.

Head to Settings > My Fire TV > Restart and select Restart on the confirmation screen.

You can also initiate a system reboot using a remote shortcut. Press and hold the Select and Play/Pause buttons on your Fire TV Remote for 3-5 seconds.

Release both buttons when you see a “Your Amazon Fire TV is Powering Off” on your screen.

Perform a hard reboot if you can’t find your Fire TV Remote or if you have a faulty remote. Unplug your Fire TV device from its power source and wait 10-30 seconds.

Reconnect the streaming device to its power source, wait for it to boot, and check if Disney+ works without issues.

5. Clear Disney+ Cache and Data

Disney+ app might malfunction if its cache files get corrupted. Force-close Disney+, clear its cache file, and restart the app. If the malfunction persists, delete the Disney+ data, and relaunch the application.

Note: Deleting Disney+ data removes the application’s settings, files, and account info from your Fire TV.

1. Head to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications and select Disney+.

2. Select Clear Cache.

Reopen Disney Plus and try streaming a movie or show. Clear the app’s data (see step #3) if the issue persists.

3. Select Clear data.

4. Select Clear data again on the confirmation screen.

Reopen Disney+, sign in to your Disney Plus account, and check if the app works without issue.

6. Update the Disney+ App

You might encounter issues streaming Disney+ if you have an outdated app version. Follow the steps below to update Disney Plus to the latest version in the Fire TV App Store.

1. Open the App Store app on your Fire TV home screen.

2. Head to the App Library tab and open the Installed on this TV category.

3. Navigate to the Disney+ app icon and press the Menu button on your Fire TV Remote.

4. You’ll see an “Update” option on the menu if a new Disney+ version is available for your Fire TV. Select Update to install the latest Disney+ version on your device.

We recommend enabling “Automatic Updates” on your Fire TV so it automatically updates Disney+ and any outdated app.

Head to Settings > Applications > App Store and set Automatic Updates to “ON.”

7. Update Your Fire TV

Fire TV devices running an outdated or buggy software version might encounter issues running certain applications. Amazon often releases Fire OS updates that resolve system failures and app malfunctions. Head to your Fire TV settings menu and install any update available for your Fire TV.

Connect your Fire TV to the internet and go to Settings > My Fire TV > About. Select Check for Updates and wait while your Fire TV downloads any available update.

If your Fire TV downloaded an update in the background, select Install Update to start the update.

The software update could take up to 30 minutes, depending on the update size, Fire TV model, and internet speed. Open Disney+ after the update and check if updating your Fire TV resolved the issue.

8. Reinstall Disney Plus

Remove Disney+ from your Fire TV and reinstall the application if the app malfunctions after trying the fixes above.

Head to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > Disney+ and select Uninstall.

Select Confirm on the confirmation screen to uninstall the app.

Restart your Fire TV and reinstall Disney+ from the Amazon App Store or sideload the APK from third-party sources.

Get Disney+ Working Again

You should also consider factory resetting your Fire TV if Disney+ (and other streaming apps) doesn’t work after trying the troubleshooting steps above.

Go to Settings > My Fire TV > Reset to Factory Defaults and select Reset on the confirmation screen.

Resetting your Fire TV deletes everything (apps, settings, saved networks, downloaded files, etc.) on the streaming device and unlinks it from your Amazon account.

Set up your device after the reset (see: How to Set Up Amazon Fire TV) and install Disney+. Contact Disney+ Help Center or Amazon Device Support if the Disney+ app still malfunctions.

Where to Watch the 2023 US Open Online

ESPN is the domestic broadcast provider of the US Open tournament in the United States and U.S. territories. The network will broadcast all matches and courts via ESPN, ESPN2, and the ESPN app.

ABC will also provide a one-day live coverage of all middle Sunday matches (September 3) in the U.S. If you don’t have cable TV, you can watch the US Open on digital streaming platforms offering these channels.

Check out the US Open website for platforms to stream the tournament live coverage in and outside the U.S.

YouTube TV

All three channels (ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC) broadcasting the 2023 US Open matches are available on YouTube TV. You can enjoy YouTube TV for free for 14 days if it’s your first time signing up for the streaming service. Otherwise, you must buy the $72.99 monthly plan to watch the US Open online on YouTube TV.

Joining a YouTube TV family group is an alternate way to access the streaming service for free.

YouTube TV works on mobile devices, computers, smart TVs, and streaming media players like Apple TV, Fire TV Stick, etc. Check out all YouTube TV-supported devices and their system requirements.

ESPN+

ESPN will broadcast the US Open live stream through its cable-free platforms—ESPNplus.com and the ESPN app. You need an ESPN+ subscription ($9.99/month or $99.99/year) to watch the tournament on these platforms.

Once subscribed, install the ESPN app on your device or visit ESPNplus.com in a web browser to watch the US Open online.

fuboTV

fuboTV is available in the United States, Canada, and Spain. However, the channels (ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC) providing live coverage of the US Open are only available to users in the United States and U.S. territories.

You can access these channels using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) outside the U.S. fuboTV’s base plan costs $74.99/month and includes a 7-day free trial for first-time subscribers.

DIRECTV Stream

The $74.99/month DIRECTV Stream “Entertainment” package offers both ESPN and ESPN2 in its channel lineup. You can watch the 2023 US Open online on DIRECTV Stream anywhere in the U.S. using compatible smartphones, browsers, and streaming devices.

Sling TV

Buying Sling TV’s Orange subscription ($40/month) grants you cable-free access to all US Open matches. All you need is an internet connection, a Sling-supported device, and a VPN if you reside outside the U.S.

Tune in to ESPN or ESPN2 to catch live actions from the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on your streaming device.

Stan offers first-time subscribers a 30-day free trial for its base plans, but you must buy the Sport add-on.

There’s a cheaper way to watch the 2023 US Open on Hulu. Subscribe to the $7.99/month standard plan and add the ESPN+ add-on ($9.99/month) to your subscription. That way, you can watch the US Open and other live ESPN+ programming in the Hulu app or website without a Live TV plan.

Eurosport or Eurosport Player

Eurosport is the best platform to watch Grand Slam tennis tournaments (Australian Open, Wimbledon, French Open, and US Open) in Europe. You need a Eurosport Monthly Pass and a supported device to watch the US Open online without cable.

Factory Reset Chromecast Using Virtual Remote

Open the virtual Chromecast remote in the Google Home app and follow the step below.

1. Select your profile picture in the top corner and select Settings.
2. Go to System > About and select Factory reset.

3. Select Factory reset on the confirmation page to proceed.

Factory Reset Chromecast Using Physical Button

Keep your Chromecast plugged into its power source and turned on. Hold down the physical button at the back of the streaming device.

Release the button when the LED blinks yellow and then turns solid white. Your Chromecast should restart and automatically pair with the remote after the factory reset.

Fix Google Chromecast Remote

Contact Google Support if your Chromecast Voice Remote doesn’t work after trying all the recommendations above. You’ll get a replacement Voice Remote if the one you have has a factory defect. You can also purchase a replacement remote from Google Store or Amazon for $19.99.

1. Move Remote Closer and Check for Interference

Amazon Fire TV Remotes are Bluetooth-powered with a 25-30 feet operating range. Your Fire TV may not respond to its remote if both devices are out of range or too far apart.

Ensure your Fire TV and its remote are in the same room and within visible distance. Also, ensure the remote has a clear line of sight from the Fire TV.

Using your Fire TV device or remote near radiation-emitting devices—Wi-Fi router, wireless speaker, microwave oven, etc.—can cause interference. We recommend turning off these devices or moving them away from your Fire TV device/remote.

2. Use the Fire TV Remote App

The Amazon Fire TV app is a mobile remote that works like the physical Fire TV Remote. The app is easy to use and compatible with all Fire TV models. Power on your Fire TV and follow the steps below to set up and use the Fire TV app.

1. Download the Amazon Fire TV app from the App Store (for iPhone/iPad) or Google Play Store (for Android).
2. Next, connect your mobile device to the same Wi-Fi network as your Fire TV.
3. Open the Amazon Fire TV app and wait for it to detect your Fire TV device. Select your device in the “Connect to Remote” section to proceed.

You should see a “Fire TV Remote – Ready to pair” entry on the search page when your Fire TV detects the remote.

4. Enter the code in the Amazon Fire TV app and tap the Checkmark icon to proceed.

Use the on-screen navigation and buttons on the Amazon Fire TV app home screen to control your Fire TV device.

3. Reinsert or Replace the Batteries

Your Amazon Fire TV Remote may malfunction or stop working if the batteries are low or dead. Also, dropping your remote on hard surfaces can dislodge the batteries and cause the remote to stop working. You can check the status of your Fire TV Remote in the Fire TV settings menu.

Go to Settings > Controllers & Bluetooth Devices > Amazon Fire TV Remotes > Amazon Fire TV Remote and check the “Battery” section on the right sidebar.

Change the remote’s batteries if your Fire TV says they’re “Offline.”

Open your Fire TV Remote’s back cover and check that the batteries are secure and inserted correctly. Also, ensure you align the battery polarities—positive (+) and negative (-) sides—in line with the inscriptions in the battery compartment.

Your Fire TV Remote batteries are likely dead if the remote control doesn’t work. Insert new batteries and check if that resolves the issue. We recommend the Amazon Basics AAA 1.5 Volt alkaline batteries—the 8-pack unit retails for $5.98 on Amazon.com.

Replace both batteries with new units. Your Fire TV Remote might malfunction if you replace one battery or mix old and new batteries.

4. Unpair and Re-Pair the Remote

Disconnect the remote from your Fire TV and pair it from scratch if the issue persists. You must pair a secondary remote with your Fire TV to unpair the physical remote. Link the Amazon Fire TV app to your Fire TV and follow the steps below to unpair the unresponsive remote.

1. Go to Settings > Controllers & Bluetooth Devices > Amazon Fire TV Remotes > Amazon Fire TV Remote.

2. Tap the Menu icon (in the Amazon Fire TV) app to unpair the remote.
3. Next, tap the Select icon to confirm the unpairing.

4. Select Add New Remote to re-pair the remote to your Fire TV.

5. Press and hold the Home button on the Fire TV remote for ten seconds to put it in pairing mode.

You should see “Fire TV Remote – Ready to pair” on the search page when your Fire TV detects the remote.

6. Tap the Select icon in the Amazon Fire TV app to pair/connect the remote to your Fire TV.

The remote should now appear on the list of controllers. Reboot your Fire TV if the remote still doesn’t work.

5. Power Cycle Your Fire TV

Temporary system glitches can make your Amazon Fire TV unresponsive to remote commands. Rebooting your Fire TV can fix system malfunctions and get the streaming device (and remote) working correctly.

Disconnect your Amazon Fire TV from its power source or turn off the power outlet. Wait 5-10 seconds, reconnect the Fire TV to the power supply, and check if it detects the remote.

5. Update Your Fire TV

Updating your Fire TV’s software to the latest version can resolve performance issues. Connect your Fire TV to the internet and use the Amazon Fire TV app to check for software updates.

Go to Settings > My Fire TV > About and select Check for Updates or Install Update.

6. Reset Your Fire TV Remote

Resetting your Fire TV Remote to factory default can get it working correctly again. The factory reset procedure for Fire TV Remotes varies depending on your Fire TV or remote model/generation.

1. Press and hold the Left, Menu, and Back buttons on your remote for at least 12 seconds.

2. Release all three buttons, wait five seconds, and remove the batteries from your remote.
3. Connect your Fire TV to the power outlet and wait for it to boot the Home screen. You should see a “We can’t detect your remote” message on your TV screen.
4. Reinsert the batteries in the remote and press the Home button.

The remote should automatically pair with your Fire TV device. Otherwise, press and hold the Home button for ten seconds to pair it manually.

7. Restore Your Fire TV to Factory Settings

Factory resetting your Fire TV can resolve remote malfunctions and other issues. Reset your Fire TV to factory settings if the remote doesn’t work after exhausting all troubleshooting steps.

Resetting your Fire TV wipes everything on the streaming device—settings, installed apps, saved data, etc. Our tutorial on factory resetting Fire TV devices explains everything that happens when you reset Fire TV.

Use the Amazon Fire TV app to reset your Fire TV—since your physical Fire TV Remote isn’t working.

Go to Settings > My Fire TV > Reset to Factory Defaults and select Reset on the confirmation screen.

Buy and Pair a Replacement Remote

Your Fire TV Remote is likely defective if it still doesn’t work after trying the above troubleshooting solutions. If your Fire TV is under warranty, contact Amazon Customer Service for a (free) remote replacement. Otherwise, buy a new remote and pair it in the Fire TV settings menu.

When your new remote arrives, head to Settings > Controllers & Bluetooth Devices > Amazon Fire TV Remotes.

Afterward, press and hold the Home button on the remote for ten seconds to pair it to your Fire TV.

Refer to our tutorial on pairing Fire TV Remote for more details on linking replacement remotes to Fire TV devices.

2023 French Open: Who’s Winning?

Rafael Nadal won’t participate in the 2023 French Open due to a hip injury. That makes this year’s tournament the first French Open since 2004 without Nadal. Three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray also pulled out of the tournament to prioritize and prepare for the upcoming Wimbledon tournament.

Without these top-ranked players, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz are the favorites to win the men’s final. For the Women’s Single championship, many are betting on defending champion Iga Świątek to clinch her third French Open title.
