Instagram seems to have stopped working correctly

Instagram

The social networking service, Instagram seems to have stopped working correctly, with users grumpy they are not capable to use it as normal.

The news feed would not revive, direct messages would not send, or comments could not be written – also with not being able to enter into the app at all, were among the complaints.

The glitches were experienced around the globe, as per the tracking website Down Detector, which recommended there had been problems all morning but they had spiked around noon time.

But it did not seem to be affecting all users. Few seemed to be capable to load and interact with their news feed as usual – and it is not clear what permitted them to get around the problems.

Facebook, in a statement, stated that it was alert of the problems with Instagram. “We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience,”

Down Detector said that the problem could be with the company’s servers, and the same problems possibly are faced by WhatsApp and Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook management have been observing to more carefully connect its three messaging platforms, with the expectation of letting them all be powered by the same backend.

Users would be able to communicate between the three apps in this way. However, critics have pointed out that it would make any regulatory split difficult or impossible – and that issues with one of Facebook’s services tend to spread to others.
