UPDATE: On the night of Aug. 11, a Facebook company spokesperson responded to our request for a statement about the “couldn’t refresh feed” error on Instagram. The statement confirmed that a fix was in the works: “We’re aware that some people are having trouble refreshing their Instagram feeds. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience.”
No, it’s not just you. As of Aug. 11, some Instagram users continued to report seeing errors involving a “couldn’t refresh feed” message as well as problems with the Reels functionality. “Is Instagram down?” was also a common search on Twitter. We initially contacted Instagram about the “couldn’t refresh feed” matter three days ago when we published our first report.
Snopes.com previously independently confirmed the issues were real and only impacted some users, both on the mobile app and instagram.com in a web browser. We found no indication that he problems involved hacking, phishing, bans, or any sort of penalty resulting from a violation of terms of service. No other messages appeared for the users who were impacted.
Attempts to correct the issues included changing passwords, clearing cache and data, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the app. None of these efforts resolved the problems.
The “couldn’t refresh feed” message and Reels error involved an unknown number of Instagram users not being unable to load their main feeds or post Reels. Oddly enough, these users did not report experiencing problems with Instagram Stories, a component separate from Instagram Feed and Instagram Reels.
Below we have pasted a number of tweets that described the issues:

This is cool!!
But… a lot of people are disappointed with @instagram right now.
The latest app update did not fix the “couldn’t refresh feed” error that many of us are experiencing and no one from the company will address it.
It’s been six days. @snopes
