Issue 1 - Connected wrong Instagram account

Issue 2 - You are not logged in on Instagram


You are getting this message:



because you are not logged in on Instagram on your browser.

To solve this:

  1. Login on Instagram on your browser.
  2. Go to Apps > Instafeed and Connect with Instagram again.

Issue 3 - Activity off Meta technologies currently turned off


If you are getting this error message:

{"error_type": "OAuthException", "code": 400, "error_message": "Your activity off Meta technologies is currently turned off."}

it means that a configuration in your Facebook account is preventing you from using Instagram apps.

To change that setting:

  1. Go to this page in your personal Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/off_facebook_activity
  2. Click "Manage Future Activity"


  1. Make sure “Connect future activity” is selected.


  1. Keep in mind that all page admins need to have that setting on

Issue 4 - Other issues


If you are facing any other issues you can also try:


  1. Log in directly to Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/ and make sure that you use the credentials of the account that you want to connect to in Instafeed.
  2. Go back to Instafeed in a different tab in your browser and hit “Connect with Instagram” again. Instagram should no longer ask you to log in and present you with a window to accept permissions to our app “Mintt Studio.”
