Follow along below for the latest news and updates on the Instagram outage...

  • How do you know if Facebook is down?

    Those who may be experiencing difficulties with Facebook can check other social media apps, such as X, for reports.

    If you don’t have a X account – or if it isn’t working, Downdetector will tell users when the apps are down or experiencing difficulties.

    If it appears the problem may not be widespread, try checking the internet connection on your device or exiting the app before logging back in.

  • Users fume amid outage

    Instagram and Facebook users have taken to social media to complain about today's outage.

    One X user said: "I'm here because of Facebook and Instagram are down just in time for Mark Zuckerberg's birthday lol."

    While another added: "Is Instagram down or....????"
