Android Central Question

I uninstalled instagram from my phone and then tried to install back, it is showing "can't install instagram-error 24". Tried all possible trouble shooting ways. But couldn't over come. No space problem. Please help me out.

If you're installing it using Play, the normal fix for error 24 is to go to Settings > Apps >Google Play Store, force stop, clear cache, clear data.

Then run Play again and install Instagram.

Welcome to Android Central! Which Desire model? There are a lot of them. What happens when you try to install it -- do you get the same error message as the OP did a year ago?

Where are you installing from -- the Play Store, or is this an apk you downloaded from somewhere?

Your phone is 6 years old, and I'm betting it's on either KitKat or Lollipop. Phones this old are starting to have problems with app compatibility due to their age. You probably need to get a new phone.
