Instagram is UP
Instagram is Meta’s photo and video app for posts, Stories, Reels and direct messages. It runs on the same backend as Facebook, so when Instagram’s feed refuses to refresh it is worth checking Facebook and WhatsApp too.
Average response time 393 ms across 16 checks. Red bars mark failed checks.

No outages detected by our checks in the last 30 days.
Reload the page with Ctrl + F5 (Cmd + Shift + R on Mac). On a phone, close Instagram completely and open it again.
Open another website or app. If nothing loads, restart your router or switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
An outdated Instagram app or browser can stop working after changes on Instagram’s side. Install any pending updates.
Old saved data can keep showing an error after Instagram is fixed. Clear them for this site, or try a private window.
Switch your DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 and disable any VPN, proxy or ad blocker, then try Instagram again.
Can’t access Instagram but it’s up for everyone else? Your network or ISP may be blocking it. More help in our troubleshooting guides.
The status box at the top of this page shows our latest automatic check of instagram.com, which runs every 10 minutes, plus how many people reported Instagram problems in the last hour. If our check is green but you still can’t use Instagram, the problem is most likely on your side.
When Instagram is up for everyone else, the usual causes are a weak or blocked connection, an outdated app, cached data in your browser, a VPN or ad blocker, or a DNS problem with your internet provider. Work through the troubleshooting steps on this page in order.
Compare two things on this page: our server check and the number of user reports. If our check fails or many people report problems at the same time, Instagram is probably having a wider outage. If both look normal, it is likely just you.
Wait and try again later rather than reinstalling the app or resetting your password, which won’t fix a server-side problem. Avoid repeating payments or orders until Instagram is working again, and check this page for updates.
Our server checks instagram.com every 10 minutes and keeps the results for 90 days. User reports from this page are counted live, so a sudden spike shows up within minutes.
