Instagram down: Meta website suffers outages as thousands of users report problems with the app
SOCIAL media app Instagram has stopped working for thousands of users in a major outage.
Reports of an outage began to flood Down Detector at around 11pm on Thursday and users reported the issue on other apps.
It comes after Meta faced a global outage of its products, including Instagram and Facebook Messenger, only days ago.
Nearly 7,000 people reported the app being down across Britain, with the figure peaking at 11.50pm, according to Down Detector.
Most reported seeing issues with the app and logging into the app.
When the app is accessed it appears to just continually load without the app updating.
Instagram fans posted memes about the issue on X, formerly Twitter, using the hashtag ‘#Instagramdown’.
One fan said: “thought I was being hacked had me in bed like this, just instagram down AGAIN.”
Another said: “The relief of finding i have not been hacked but it’s an everywhere problem.”
A third said: “Everyone rushing to Twitter to see if Instagram is down.”
The Sun has reached out to Meta for comment.
