New Delhi [India], July 6 (ANI): Instagram, a Meta-owned social media platform, shut down a while back today, barring several users from logging in and using the platform. However it has now been restored.
Several users took to Twitter to confirm that Instagram is not working for them. While some other users reported that their feeds weren’t refreshing, others complained of not being able to respond.
According to DownDetector, the first surge in complaints began after 8 p.m. on July 5 and peaked at around 11 p.m., when more than 1200 users reported experiencing problems with Instagram. By SAM on 6 July, the situation seemed to be getting better, but new reports are coming in that it has not been resolved.
Reporting their issue of not being able to access the social media platform, netizens took to Twitter.
One user wrote, ‘I came to Instagram after refreshing my phone 3 times and reinstalling Instagram 2 times.
Another user posted, “I’m waiting for instagram dm to work again to see 0 dms, I have #instagramdown.”
“None: Instagram once every month: #instagramdown”, wrote a netizen.
However, unlike the previous outages, the app was not available to all Instagram users. Some reports also claimed that some users were able to use the platform during the outage. These users can access their accounts and use all aspects of the platform, including refreshing their feeds and opening new profiles.
Instagram has yet to acknowledge the issue, and no official statement has been issued.
The platform has experienced several similar outages in recent months, including one last month on the night of Tuesday, April 19. (ANI)
