Is Instagram Down?

About Instagram

Instagram is Meta's photo and video app. Feeds, Reels, direct messages and the website do not always fail together. A single account that cannot post, while other accounts can, is an account restriction, not an outage.

A fault at home, or a wider problem?

Ask one other person on a different network to open Instagram. If they can and you cannot, test your connection with the speed test. If they cannot either, report it here and name the feature that failed.

The connection box on this page only checks the path from your browser to this server. It does not log into Instagram and it does not claim to probe their network. When you want a number for your own line, use the internet speed test.

How the status on this page is calculated

10 reports in 15 minutes, or 20 in an hour, is shown as user reports of an outage. 4 in 15 minutes, or 8 in an hour, is shown as possible problems. Anything less is "a few reports". Zero reports is not a promise that the service is working. There is no invented baseline. Notes are shown as written, after control characters are removed. They are not checked against Instagram.

Questions

Is Instagram down right now?

This page does not start with an answer. The status line is computed only from problems visitors report here over the last 24 hours. No reports means this site has not heard anything, which is not the same as Instagram confirming that the service is up. The company's own page is https://www.instagram.com/.

How many reports count as an Instagram outage?

10 reports in 15 minutes, or 20 in an hour, is shown as user reports of an outage. 4 in 15 minutes, or 8 in an hour, is shown as possible problems. Anything less is "a few reports". Zero reports is not a promise that the service is working. There is no invented baseline.

What if only my Instagram connection is affected?

Ask one other person on a different network to open Instagram. If they can and you cannot, test your connection with the speed test. If they cannot either, report it here and name the feature that failed. A speed test on this site measures the line from your device. A failed test on one network, with another network still working, points at that line or at Wi-Fi rather than at every Instagram customer.
