Instagram is reportedly down for some users, according to unofficial claims on social media.
As of 5:30 pm Pacific time on Wednesday, there were more than 7,500 reports of Instagram outages, according to monitoring site Downdetector.
The Independent has contacted Instagram for comment and confirmation.
On sites like X, users posted screenshots of an error message they said they got when trying to use the platform, which read, “Sorry, something went wrong. We’re working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.”
“Insta just exploded or something,” content creator Nikki Cupcake wrote on X. “On a browser that isn’t logged in my page still exists but if I’m logged in, this is what I see. Give me back my IG feed *shakes fist to the sky*”
