I have a Note 20 Ultra phone, and it has a S Pen. I used to always take Instagram photos with the S Pen, but then I encountered some issues with Instagram, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Since then, the S Pen stopped taking Instagram photos; it only takes photos with the regular camera, and when I press the S pen button to take an instgram photo it only lower the sound of the phone and that's it, Do you know why this happened and what the solution is?

Hey there, @dalia_O.

I am able to use my S Pen for other apps, like SnapChat but Instagram doesn't seem to work. I'd suggest reaching out to Instagram support for this so they can fix it up.

You can contact them here: https://help.instagram.com/contact/505535973176353

Sadly, no, I've tried everything I could think of, and I've contacted instgram support center, but still no answer from their side.

Actually, just afew seconds ago, i went to Google play to see if there's any instgram app updates, and i found one so I updated the app after that I tried to capture a photo with my S pen knowing it won't work, but to my surprise it REALLY WORKED this time !!!
Try the new update. Maybe it will work for you as well. Best of luck 💕
