Instagram Down: Photo Sharing App Crashes For The Second Time In A Month

The Facebook social networking application is facing difficulties today with users around the world complaining that their feeds are either taking time to load or not loading at all.
At some point the app was down and those trying to access it on their browsers were met with a server error page.
Down Detector, a website that offers a real-time overview of status information and outages for all kinds of services noted a spike in the number of people reporting that they were experiencing problems with Instagram.
Several users undertook measures of their own to solve the problem like uninstalling and reinstalling the app but the problem persisted. More than 3000 users reported their issues on Down Detector.

Locations Where Outages Are Being Experienced

Instagram has acknowledged the problem and said they are working to restore the situation back to normal.

We're aware that some users are having trouble accessing their Instagram accounts. We’re working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible!
