Instagram went down globally for some users
The problems were experienced around the world
(Web Desk) – Instagram went down in several parts of the world due to unclear issues on Thursday.
According to Downdetector, the platform that keeps track of internet outages, the Instagram services went down at around 11.00 am, while the reports about the outage peaked at around 12.00 pm.
Instagram users complaining they are unable to use it as usual. Complaints included the fact that the news feed would not refresh, direct messages would not send, or comments could not be posted – as well as not being able to get into the app at all.
The problems were experienced around the world, according to tracking website Down Detector, which suggested there had been problems all morning.
But it did not appear to be affecting all users. Some appeared to be able to load and interact with their feed as usual – and it is not clear what allowed them to get around the problems.
In a statement, Facebook said it was aware of the issues with Instagram. “We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience,” it said.
