If all the above tricks didn’t work, then you have to wait.
How long?
It depends.
Usually, there are 3 scenarios.
Scenario #1. A new worldwide feature
If it is a new feature they have decided to roll out to everyone around the world: it usually takes about a week or two for everyone to get it.
Scenario #2. A new feature being tested
If it is a feature they are testing only on some accounts, or in specific countries: We have to wait until they finish their test.
Unfortunately, they don’t say how long the test is.
Based on past features, sometimes it takes a couple of months (2-4 months). Sometimes, it takes a year (like the Reels feature on some accounts only for example).
Scenario #3. One of your accounts has the new feature, and the other account doesn’t
It’s also possible that one of your accounts already has the new feature while another one of your accounts might not have it yet. Which seems weird. Shouldn’t you have the same feature on both of your accounts? Well, it looks like Instagram might be viewing your accounts as separate accounts (even though you are the owner of both).
It happened to us: one of our accounts had a new feature before the other one. A few weeks later, the other accounts got the new feature too.
Moral of the story: be patient.
Keep an eye on your Instagram update. You might get it soon.
