This easy step-by-step tutorial with screenshots will help you fix the black Instagram photos bug. I tried it on one of my devices and it worked.

By default, the Normal option is selected. In order to fix the Black photos or partial black photos, change to Basic in Upload Quality section. After doing that, Restart the app.'
