To verify your primary country, you'll have to turn on your phone's location and have it on for at least 14 days for Instagram. This way, Instagram will verify your country and add it as your current location. Here's how to turn on your location if you're using an Android phone: • Open "Settings" on your phone and go to "Apps and Notifications." • Find "Instagram" among the other apps and click on "Permissions" and "Location." • Choose the "Allow All the Time" option, and you'll turn on your location. Instagram needs to verify your location to increase your post's reach. Unless you do so, it will impact on your profile's visibility, since fewer people will be able to read your new posts.
