Without the correct permissions, Mobal wonโ€™t be able to fetch metrics from your Instagram account. This results in failed data loads or missing graphs in the dashboard.

  1. Find โ€œMobalโ€ in the list.

  2. Click View and Edit.

  3. Ensure all required permissions are toggled on.

If not, remove the integration and reconnect via Mobal > Settings > Instagram > Connect.
