Hi there


Please try this


Turn on High-Quality Uploads on Instagram: Go to your Instagram profile, open the menu (three lines), tap Data usage and media quality, and turn on Upload at highest quality.

Check Your Internet: Switch from a weak cellular connection to a stable Wi-Fi network before uploading or watching high-definition media. 

Adjust iPhone Camera Settings: Go to your iPhone settings, choose Camera, then Record Video, and set it to 1080p instead of extremely high resolutions or HDR if you notice constant upload distortion.
