Instagram is down in much of the world

From time to time, web services break down. And when that happens, we suddenly realize the importance of these services in our daily lives. Instagram has become over time much more than a social network for sharing images. With more than 700 million active users, Instagram is also a decisive springboard for businesses. Especially in this complicated period in the zone of turbulence of the consequences of COVID-19.

With the right hashtags and neat images, it is indeed easy to promote many products and services inexpensively. In any case when the service is available. Because this morning, strong disturbances affect the functioning of Instagam. Affected people report that the app no ​​longer updates or has difficulty updating the various content presented by the app.

Instagram still breaks down

The problem affects both the Android version and the iPhone version of Instagram. Even though this application from the Facebook group is down, we note that WhatsApp and Facebook are functioning normally. This suggests a problem that is after all limited in scope. There are reports of outages coming from all over the world, but it seems that the problem is particularly intense in India, the country of origin of many Internet users who have reported outages.

According to Down Detector, the first problems were declared the day before around 7 p.m. (Paris) and continued into the night until this morning. If you are affected by the problem, the only thing you can do is take it easy. This type of failure is relatively rare, and usually does not last very long. As for the precise causes of the problem, we remain largely in the unknown.
