Troubleshooting Common IssuesGeneral

Hey,

Running into a 400 Error while trying to connect your Instagram account to Zorcha? Don’t worry—it’s more common than you think, and we’ll walk you through what it means and how to fix it.

What is the 400 Error?

The 400 Error is an HTTP error that stands for “Bad Request.” In simpler terms, it means the request your browser sent to Instagram’s servers couldn’t be processed—usually due to a problem on your end (a.k.a. the client side).

Here’s why this might happen:

Your browser may have corrupted or outdated cookies.

You're logged into Instagram on multiple devices, causing a conflict.

The browser or device you're using might not be playing nice with the login flow.

How to Fix the 400 Error When Connecting Instagram

There’s no one-size-fits-all fix, but here are several things you can try. One of them usually works:

Open in Incognito Mode

This disables extensions and cached data that could be causing the issue.

→ On Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + N (Mac)

Switch Your Network

Try connecting over a different Wi-Fi or your mobile hotspot. Some networks block certain requests.

Try a Different Browser

If you’re using Chrome, try Firefox or Safari—and vice versa.

Use Another Device or PC

Sometimes the issue is isolated to one device. Switching helps rule that out.

Log Out of Instagram on All Devices

Then log back in on just one device and try connecting again through Zorcha.

Wait and Retry After a Few Minutes

Instagram might temporarily block requests if too many attempts are made. Give it a short break.

Still Stuck?

If you’ve tried everything above and still can’t connect, drop us a message through the Zorcha support chat or email us at contact@zorcha.in and we’ll jump in to help.
