Here are a few more answers to your questions about Instagram.

Can I Change My Country on Instagram?

To verify your primary country, you’ll have to turn on your phone’s location and have it on for at least 14 days for Instagram. This way, Instagram will verify your country and add it as your current location.

Here’s how to turn on your location if you’re using an Android phone:

• Open “Settings” on your phone and go to “Apps and Notifications.”

• Find “Instagram” among the other apps and click on “Permissions” and “Location.”

• Choose the “Allow All the Time” option, and you’ll turn on your location.

Instagram needs to verify your location to increase your post’s reach. Unless you do so, it will impact on your profile’s visibility, since fewer people will be able to read your new posts.

What Languages Does Instagram Translate?

Recently, Instagram added a new translation tool that allows you to translate captions, comments, and feed posts. It can translate any text based on your language preferences and settings. When you open the language list, you’ll see all the languages that Instagram users can choose from.

Also, an AI tool can translate almost every comment or post that’s written into a different language, and you can see what someone wrote by clicking on “See Translation.” For this option to work, you’ll need to change your default language. Afterward, every time you see a comment or a caption in a different language, you can see it in translation.
