Instagram Outage Resolved, Company Cites ‘Technical Issue’ For Inconvenience

Downdetector showed about 2,000 users were affected from the UK, and more than 1,000 users reported outage each from India and Australia.

Instagram, the Meta-owned social media platform, has been restored after a brief outage earlier today. The photo-sharing app was down for thousands of users globally, according to the outage tracking website Downdetector.

In a tweet, the platform’s official PR team Instagram Comms (@InstagramComms) said the outage was caused due to a ‘technical issue’ which caused people to have trouble accessing the app. The issue, it says, has now been ‘resolved’ for everyone.

More than 46,000 users faced issues in accessing the photo-sharing platform in the United States at the peak of the outage, reported news agency Reuters citing the website. The website tracks outages by collating status reports from several sources, including user-submitted errors on its platform.

Users also took to the social media platform Twitter to report the outage. Some of the users also cracked jokes saying users are now coming back to Twitter.    

Instagram is yet to comment on this outage, but such outages have become increasingly common for Twitter. Last month, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram remained unavailable to thousands of users worldwide. At the peak of the outage, Facebook users reported more than 11,000 incidents, and Instagram users reported about 7,000 cases, reported Reuters.

The company had said that a technical issue disrupted services for thousands of users. "A technical issue caused some people to have trouble accessing our products. We resolved the issue as quickly as possible," a Meta spokesperson said.

Downdetector tracks outages by collating status reports from several sources, including user-submitted errors on its platform.

The glitch in the social micro-blogging site appeared as new CEO Elon Musk has been reducing the staff since taking over the business in October, raising questions about the service's survival with fewer engineers.
