Widespread reports indicate that a mass Instagram outage is underway, leaving the app unresponsive or slow to load.
Instagram appears to be suffering from an outage affecting many users. Complaints are coming from multiple locations around the globe, indicating this may be a problem with the service rather than a single server outage.
The outage began around 8:49 p.m. EST according to Down Detector. Reports across Twitter and other social media indicate users either can't access the app or feeds are slow to load.
Instagram hasn't acknowledged the outage publicly.
Users will need to be patient as the problem causing the outage is addressed. There isn't a known fix or workaround, as the platform itself is down.
