What does it mean when instagram says sorry there was a problem with your request?

I was logged into 4 instagram accounts and when I tried to add another one it said "sorry there was a problem with your request". I thought there was something wrong with the app so I cleared the data on it and tried to sign in again. Everytime I try to sign in it says "sorry there was a problem with your request" I can log in on my computer but can't on my phone. How can I fix this? What's wrong with the app?

    Don't worry, it's. It's not because your ip was banned, it's been happening to me TO and a lot of people as well, I even tried logging in on 5 of my friends phones didn't work, I tried deleting the app and resetting nope, there's just a glitch with Instagram and hopefully the new update will come fast and fix it

    It happens to me too, it's where they ban your IP address so you can't log in or make another account with Instagram again

    I have had the same problem but i know what to do. On the login screen go to "get help signing in" (its in small text). Then under the title "ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNT" got to "use username or email" type in your username and if your username is connected with an email, once u click the foward arrow, it will automatically send an email to that email connected with your account. The email will have like a blue box or something, saying something like recover your account" but just click it and you will be taken to the app loged into your account. Hope this helped 😊
