### 1/5 — Even after app & TV app update, still 403 error

*2022-11-26, version 1.3*

I have logged out and logged back in, I have deleted the app and reinstalled it. It keeps on giving me 403 error. there is nothing wrong with my Instagram connection. there is nothing wrong with anything that I am doing this is the app it’s not connecting to Instagram properly.

It all has to do with the way the TV portion of the app connects to the mobile device portion of the app, there is a discontinuity there. this has nothing to do with my Instagram account it is the way that your app communicates to Instagram that is causing the error. basically the TV version of this app is not being accorded the proper permission to view Instagram. This is within the app and has nothing to do with my credentials. I have no way of looking at the literal file permissions of the app within the Apple TV, as the Apple TV is sandboxed and Jailed. if this were any other platform I could take a direct look at the app itself on the TV, and I could check on the permissions of every file within that app. that’s what needs to be done I believe, you need to increase the level of permission for that part of the app that does the communication to Instagram.

 It still does not show me my Instagram profile, it gives me a “403 Error”, which is basically I am being denied permission to view the content. I believe I did pay for this like everybody else did who is not satisfied with this app. for a while I was allowed access to my Instagram profile and then suddenly one day I started getting the 403 error. I believe this error originates within the Apple TV and there is not really any way to clear out the cache. I have even tried deleting the app on both phone and TV, then rebooting the TV. I still get 403.

**Developer response:** Hello XweAponX,
in case of any issue on Apple TV, please press Logout button now & it will reset your cache and you would be fine fine using this application.
There can be an issue regarding your Instagram permission too, if your disabled from Instagram application.
Go to Instagram Mobile App.
Settings >> Apps & Websites and check if you mistakenly disabled Media permission from there. 
If Error 403 occurs, please remove Profile for TV application from Instagram Dashboard & connect again. Your issue will be resolved now.

This app is dysfunctional.  It took my money and the app didn’t work.  As an Apple shareholder I’m very disappointed.  :(
