Instagram does not work: the app and the web suffer a worldwide drop. As you read it it seems that the new month has brought a worldwide app crash. Users are complaining of problems accessing both the web and the mobile device application.
First thing in the morning, Instagram was already giving some other problem when updating the publications. After it seems that the app recovered and worked again, it was possible to update the content and see the latest publications. The platform seemed to work again, but it has been temporary because an hour later, many more access problems have started to be reported.
Among the problems that users are suffering the most are connection problems, service and web crash and internal malfunction in the app. In it, the publications are not updated, or you can not send direct messages, or view Stories. Nor can you put comments or upload new posts on the platform.
The registered problems occur in Spain, the United States, Ukraine, Russia and more than 60 other countries. These failures affect both the version of Instagram for Android devices, as well as the iPhone and also the web. Of course, other applications of the company such as Facebook or WhatsApp work correctly.
Platforms like DownDetector have been flooded with complaints from users around the world warning of problems with the app. Likewise, the hashtag #InstagramDown on Twitter has started to be a trend around the world to share comments from people who did not work on the platform. A hashtag that has become Trending Topic number 1 with more than 49,000 tweets about it.
At the moment, from the Instagram company it continues without revealing the causes of the fall that continues to affect the social network completely or partially at the moment. “We are aware that some people are having trouble accessing their Instagram. We are working to get everything back to normal as soon as possible and we apologize for the inconvenience, “said a company spokesman.
On the web there was only a brief message in which it was reported that work was being done to solve all the errors as soon as possible. Some media suggest that it may be due to an update on the platform.
It is not the first time that in this year 2021 the Instagram platform has had problems. Last July there were already bugs in which the app worked intermittently. Then there was also the massive fall of WhatsApp and Facebook. The other two apps from the same company. Something that also happened in the month of March with one of the most serious failures, since the service did not work correctly on the three platforms for more than 10 hours. Later, in April 2021, there were also problems in the three apps. The first historical fall of Instagram was in the year 2017 and affected many users around the world.
Instagram is one of the most used and most downloaded social platforms today. Currently more than 500 million people connect daily to it to upload publications, stories or interact with other users. That is why it is not surprising that when it has failures in its operation, the repercussion is very prominent in other social apps such as Twitter. Many of Instagram users go to this other social network to confirm that the problem does not come from their device, but is something general.
