You are not alone if you are experiencing problems accessing Instagram right now. Many individuals are seeing displays claiming they’re not logged in, blank image postings, “Welcome to Instagram” messages as if they had a fresh new account, or feeds that stop loading after the first few photographs, according to reports all over the internet (DownDetector, Reddit). When trying to visit Instagram, several Verge workers are having similar problems.
Seine Kim, Instagram’s communications lead, said, “We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing Instagram. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience.”
Other services are still available, and the outage does not appear to be localised. The network disruption trackers at Netblocks have detected that Instagram’s “intermittent” troubles are occuring all around the world, although no widespread blocking appears to be taking place.
We haven’t seen any of Instagram’s in-app outage status alerts, which the company began testing immediately after last year’s catastrophic Facebook network outage and which would alert users to any serious technical issues impacting the site or its services.
