Why can’t you add the weather sticker and fix it? 

With the instructions above, you should be able to add the weather sticker to your Instagram Story without difficulty. However, if you experience difficulty, check out the reasons and possible fixes below: 

1. Poor Internet Connection 

Instagram depends on data connection for its operations. Users must be connected to a strong data network, whether WiFi or cellular data, to enjoy everything Instagram has in store, including the weather sticker. 

Solution: Fixing your internet connection is nearly impossible. However, we suggest that you switch between network carriers, or better yet, change your location. Alternatively, you can switch to a WiFi router, if cellular data is misbehaving. 

2. Denied Location Access

The Instagram weather sticker is a real-time feature that lets you share the current weather condition of your current location. One of the criteria needed by Instagram for it to report your weather condition accurately is access to your location. Failure to do that means you cannot add weather to your Instagram Story. 

Solution: Follow these directions to grant Instagram access to your location: 

iPhone

• Locate the gear ⚙️ icon on your iPhone Home Screen, click on it and the Settings panel will come up. 

• Head to where you have the Privacy icon, and tap on it to get the interface down here:

• Next, click Location Services. 

• Scroll down the page that pops up in response to your click above, and select Instagram. 

• Now tap on the While Using the App or Always icon underneath ALLOW LOCATION ACCESS. 

• Once done, Instagram can easily access your location and the weather sticker should start showing on your Instagram Story. 

Android 

• Open on the Settings app on your Android device by simply tapping on the gear ⚙️ button. 

• Go down the page that comes up and click Apps. 

• Once done, you will be directed to another interface where all the apps on your phone will come up. Scroll down and select Instagram to proceed. 

• Now underneath the App info section, locate and click on the Permissions icon.  

• Next, click Location to proceed to location settings page. 

• Now select Allow every time, so Instagram can always access your location without your permission. 

3. Outdated Instagram App 

Using an outdated Instagram app is another reason you cannot add the weather sticker to your Instagram Story. You need to update the app to the latest one so you can use Instagram without having issues. 

Solution: Follow the steps that applies to your mobile operating system to update your Instagram app: 

iPhone

• Tap on the App Store icon on your iPhone Home Screen and the page below will pop up in response to your click:

• Click on your profile icon, which is usually located at the top right corner of Google Play Store page. 

• Next, head to where you have Manage apps & devices and click on it. 

• Now proceed to click on Updates Available and Google Play Store will display all apps that require update. Check if Instagram is there and click on the appropriate icon to update the app. 

Note: Internet connection is needed for you to update the Instagram app on your iOS or Android phone. 

4. Presence of VPN 

Do you use VPN for all operations on your mobile device? If so, the weather sticker might display incorrect data, or even fail to work on Instagram Story. The reason being that VPN is designed to conceal users’ location. 

Solution: If you have an active VPN on your mobile phone, and the weather sticker fails to work, kindly uninstall or disable it. You can use the instructional guide below to disable VPN on your iPhone: 

• Get on the Settings panel page by hitting the gear ⚙️ button on your Home Screen. 

• Next, hit the General button and select VPN & Device Management to open the interface below: 

• Now click on the appropriate button to disable VPN services on your phone. 

5. Downtime in Instagram Server 

Instagram usually schedules system maintenance and updates to fix bugs and other issues slowing down its operations, so customers can access and enjoy the platform to the fullest. When this activity is on, Instagram stops working, and the weather sticker won’t work. 

Solution: Wait patiently for Instagram to finish the updates and system maintenance. Until that’s completed, you can’t use any feature on Instagram.
