How to send GPX to instinct newbie

I cant figure out how to send a gpx to my instinct via android. Can someone explain a simple way how to do this via mobile please.

You can send waypoints (saved locations) and routes (courses) to your Instinct using the Garmin Explore app (and vice versa).

First import gpx into BaseCamp an then sync with Instinct via Garmin Explore.

i think the same way like my fenix.

open a file browser like es-file-explorer and click on a gpx file.

now select garmin connect.

I do not use phone to communicate to Instinct, but I am sure Instinct does not use .gpx files, but .fit files. So no doubt you have to use some Garmin app to do it. .fix file is proprietary, unreadable (unlike .gpx ). ( I use connect.garmin.com website to convert my .gpx to .fit and then I download it over USB cable.)

Not possible. And yes, its ridiculous.

Download the GPX file to the phone, then open with the Garmin Connect app (it should be recognized as one of the apps that can handle gpx files). It will save it as a 'training course', which then can be synced to the Instinct.

doesnt work on my phone. Nothing supports the GPX file even with connect downloaded

Did you try importing it in Garmin Connect Web?
