Here's Why Instagram May Be Down
We come to rely on social media apps like Instagram so much that we are shocked when it goes down. But this is actually a fairly common occurrence and can affect small or large numbers of users.
Let's get into three common reasons that Instagram may be down.
Instagram Sent Out a Faulty Update
When developers create updates for apps, sometimes there are unforeseen problems in the updates that cause problems for the people who download them. This can happen with any app, even Instagram.
This is also why some people experience an Instagram outage while others don’t. The ones who don’t haven’t updated their Instagram app yet.
Problems like this can take a short or a long time to fix. It depends on how fast the developers can identify the problem with the update and deploy another update to repair it.
Instagram’s Servers Are Down
All apps and websites originate in servers. These are computers that “serve” the app or website to another device – i.e., a desktop computer or a smartphone – through a network, like WiFi or 5G.
Instagram uses multiple servers to reach different locations around the globe. For example, it has several data centers in Europe which contain servers, as well as other communications equipment.
When an Instagram server goes down, it stops communicating with the computers and mobile devices for that region. If that happens, the data center that controls that server must determine why the server is down and how to fix it. The time for fixing it varies.
Instagram Software Has a Bug
Sometimes an app or website can start going haywire without an update or a server outage. If that happens, it may be because of a problem with the coding in the software.
However, it may have nothing to do with Instagram at all, but rather with an issue on your end. In that scenario, you may be able to fix it.
If there's no outage on Instagram's side, but you still can't log into the platform or use some or all of its features, what's the problem?
In most cases, when Instagram.com or your Instagram app isn't working or is running slowly, you can fix it using the following troubleshooting methods.
Restart Your Browser, App, or Mobile Device
Uninstall and Reinstall the Instagram App
Clear Your Browser or App Cache
Check for Updates to Your Web Browser, App, or Mobile Device
Check Your Internet Connection
