Instagram Down Worldwide as Users Report Login and Feed Issues

Instagram users around the world reported widespread service disruptions on Friday evening, with outage reports increasing sharply at around 7:30 PM Nepal Time.

Thousands of users said they were unable to refresh their Instagram feeds, view stories, send direct messages, or access their accounts. Some users also reported being unexpectedly logged out, while others encountered error messages when attempting to log back in.

The outage appeared to affect both the Instagram mobile app and web version, with reports emerging from multiple countries within a short period of time. Users quickly turned to other social media platforms to confirm whether the issues were widespread.

Many affected users reported blank feeds, failed content loading, and problems accessing profiles. Others said Instagram Stories and Reels were not updating, while direct messages were failing to send or receive.

The disruption appeared to occur alongside reported issues affecting Facebook and Messenger, raising the possibility of a broader technical problem impacting Meta’s family of applications.

At the time of publication, Meta, Instagram’s parent company, had not issued an official statement regarding the cause of the outage. The company is expected to investigate whether the disruption is linked to server infrastructure, authentication systems, or other backend services.

Instagram is one of the world’s most popular social media platforms, with millions of users relying on it daily for communication, content sharing, business promotion, and news updates. The outage left many users unable to access essential features during the disruption.

Niriv observed a significant increase in outage reports beginning at approximately 7:30 PM Nepal Time, with complaints continuing to emerge from users across multiple regions.
