Instagram problems or app down

Photo-sharing from mobile devices is done through many platforms and one of the most popular is Instagram. When users run into problems or find the app servers down, then this can stop that vital share you needed to make right now wherever you might be and this is why outages need to be kept short with such services.

In some circumstances it might be that Instagram isn’t down today, and instead your cellular network or home router could be having issues. When Instagram problems take place for thousands, or even millions of users, then you will see status updates below from Product Reviews readers. Our editors also leave updates in regard to official statements made on Twitter, Facebook, or other official Instagram accounts.

Instagram-status

Is Instagram down, or do you have problems with the app? You can use the web app when it’s still up during Windows Phone, iOS, and Android outages. If this isn’t possible and you still have problems, then you should leave your own status update below to let others know there’s issues on a particular device. Try and explain in detail if the problems take place during login, photo or video sharing, etc.

Official statements about planned Instagram maintenance or when servers go down will be listed by editors where possible.

    Mine crashes around the same time every night, with the length of time it’s down for differing from night to night. Like you, my internet is fine and everything else functions properly. Unfortunately, it’s not something I’ve been able to fix either.

    It’s definitely becoming more and more frustrating.
    I’m sorry you can’t post anything on either of your accounts.

  • Jordan Milham

    Thanks for reporting. Everything seems to be back up and running again as there seemed to be a slight glitch within the app for a few minutes, although if something else happens again, don’t be afraid to give us the heads up.

  • Paul

    Trying to upload an image to my feed and it’s been hanging there for the past 30 minutes.

  • Kate

    Stupid! The moment I want to relax on my phone and scroll through instagram it doesn’t work and won’t load any of the people who I’m followings pictures that they’ve uploaded!!!!

  • Joel

    Instagram seems to be playing around for me, I’m unable to change my profile picture, let alone trying to upload a normal post.

  • Dave Morin

    it’s not your computer, the social media itself has your IP address blocked because you dont support their agenda, i had found this out by contacting my server and asking them what social meda groups have blocked my IP address, you can fix it by installing an AP called hide my ip, THE AP will hide your real ip address and assign you a different one

  • Dave Morin

    facebook owns instagram, they shut it down so people cant converse with those who are running political ads whom they do not support, and that is the plain truth, since they have information about you from other social media they have shares in, like twitter,tumblr, welcome to socialism, how you like it now?

  • Janet Smith Ross

    unable to like or comment on IG PC and PC/DM past few weeks. Was really hoping it would straighten itself out

  • Carla

    Funny you say that, i was just about to say the same thing. Hopefully it’s fixed quickly.

  • Becky

    • Geoffrey Gevalt

      I am having difficulty both through the most recent app (iOS) and via web browser.

  • NgTurbo

    Instagram seems to be having problems in the UK at the moment. Let us know if it’s also down for you on August 18.

  • Lonal Nancy

    Support number +1-818-322-0217… May be this can work

  • Jessica Wilkens

    My personal account on my phone crashes either immediately or within 30 seconds of being opened. My business account on the same phone works just fine.

  • Me Moi

    off my iphone when trying to share someone else’s instagram post to my facebook I keep getting the error message ‘there was a problem sharing your link’. It was fine last nite so nothing has changed here

  • I can’t tag any Insta posts anymore. It was working fine a couple days ago, and now, after loading them properly, it appears to accept them, then when I check back in a few minutes – nada. I restarted my phone, reloaded the app, even changed phones- still no tags. I have T0-Mobile in NYC/Metro and they claim there are no issues there. Anyone having tagging issues with posts?

  • Heidi

    why is it downnnn ? not working for me in Germany

  • Cristiano Grigio

    Still crashing after 10.4.1 update. I’m on iPhone 7 with latest iOS update. Very shameful to ship this release. Test your product before deploying.

  • Jenny Dickens

    I’m vlogger and have been trying to share videos onto my Facebook community. Seems Instagram doesn’t recognise the hashtags that I have been using for the last 3 weeks. That’s strange

  • armadillosoup

    It has now been since yesterday when I updated instagram that I am unable to get on. When I click to open, the app. immediately crashes ( or a few times it seemed to want to open and then crashes with the screen turning black. When is this going to be fixed? Also would deleting it from my iphone 6 and then reinstalling it help??? Answers please!!!

  • Michael Cunningham

    instagram doesn’t recognise my usual hashtags. i can’t share pics to my fb account either

  • NgTurbo

    Instagram keeps crashing at the moment, happening to anyone else?

  • Alan Ng

    Editor note: Instagram outage on November 16 just broke. App suddenly not working, down for anyone else right now? Let us know.

  • Link to our Instagram not working on our web page, last couple of days. No one has touched it from our end. Any idea?

  • Abby

    I have only posted a couple of times on Instagram this month and now I cant post again, not sure if it’s them or my mobile. Going to restart it and see.

  • Ben

    The Instagram Android app needs a fix to stop the continue issue of their app refreshing to the top, this only happens when you leave the app for a few minutes.

  • Chris

    When I try to post an image to Instagram through Hootsuite it’s not working.
