Questions

Is Instagram down right now?

According to reports on this page, Instagram looks fine for most people. Isolated failures still happen — report yours if you are stuck.

When was the last mass outage?

The last mass outage ran from Oct 8, 2026 7:25 PM to Oct 8, 2026 7:20 PM (5 minutes).

Why won't my photos upload to Instagram?

Upload failures usually come from a weak connection, an outdated app, or a temporary server problem. Check your network, update the app if needed, and try again after a minute or two. If reports here show many upload failures, the issue is probably on Instagram's side.

The app freezes when I open it. What can I do?

Force close the app and reopen it. If that does not help, check for an update in your app store. Android users can also clear the app cache in system settings. Reinstalling is a last resort, since it removes any offline drafts.

The app shows no information on profile. Asks me if I want to continue as my account name but then all I get is create an account. No side features, no top features at all.

App shows no information on profile except description. Uploaded story video is not able to add mention, stickers or filters, or add to highlight, the story does not complete upload.

Can't get into account to see items. It had me put the scrambled code in to prove I'm human but then when it tells me to put in my cell phone number to send me a code, it doesn't send a code. It tells me to download but I won't do that incase it's a scam and I couldn't put it in my phone anyway. It doesn't have enough space.
