If you want to create an Instagram account, you can choose between the following registration options: Login directly via Facebook (if available) or via a new e-mail address:

If you have now chosen the option registration via e-mail address, then the following error message can be displayed on the screen:

"Unfortunately an error occurred while creating your account"

The cause of this error message can be of different origin, but these occur most frequently:

• A "disposable email address" was used
• An email address of an unknown free provider was used

Often such free email addresses are blocked by Instagram, because a lot of spam registrations without real users take place. If you have a GMail email address, use it to log in to Instagram and avoid the above mentioned error message.

Should the error message still appear, please proceed as follows on Android smartphones:

1. Open the Android system settings

2. Navigate to "Apps & Applications"

3. Scroll down the list until you can see "Instagram" --> Select the entry from

If you did, it may be that there is an error or a malfunction in Instagram at the moment. Just wait a few hours and then try to log in again.

Hopefully the bug will be fixed.
