Instagram is down for users around the world, leaving thousands of people unable to scroll, post and like.
The outage hit the Meta-owned platform on Monday afternoon, with many users citing issues with the app, news feed, and logging into accounts.
Issues have been reported in the US, UK, Europe, Asia and other parts of the world.

Instagram is down for users around the world who have reported issues with the app, News Feed, and account access.
DownDetector, a site that monitors online outages, shows that the problems appeared around 2 p.m. and 71 percent of users cited problems with the app; 12 percent cannot log into their accounts.
When one social media platform fails, users tend to look to another for answers, and it’s usually Musk’s X.
Shortly after the problems began to arise, people began asking other X users if they were being locked out of their accounts or if their feed wasn’t loading correctly.

DownDetector’s outage map shows New York City and Los Angeles in “red,” meaning users there have reported the most issues.
Across the Atlantic, reports are coming in from the UK from Manchester and London.
However, there are more reports filed by Americans than by any other nation.
Monday’s outage comes about three weeks since Instagram experienced problems.
On March 21, photo-sharing app Facebook and Messenger suffered a global outage that lasted more than two hours.
The outage occurred around 10:45 a.m. ET and affected the US, the UK, parts of Europe and Asia; other nations were also affected.
DownDetector, a site that monitors online disturbances, reported problems with apps, websites, and users accessing accounts.
But that disruption was nothing compared to the chaos wreaked on March 5 when Meta’s internal systems crashed, taking its planar forms with it.
Meta has yet to provide details about what caused the two outages in March and it is unclear if the company will provide updates on Monday’s issues.
