Instagram is still down for some users several hours after the initial outage began. Many people are reporting that their feeds won’t refresh, and they can’t access features like search or reels. However, stories seem to be loading normally. The problem appears to be affecting specific accounts. Some users have found that switching to a different account on the same device resolves the issue, which has left many scratching their heads about what’s going wrong.
On Reddit, a user named Web-95 posted, “My Instagram feed has been like this for hours. The app won’t even let me refresh. Search and reels also not working. Stories however load. However when I switch to my other account, everything works.” Another user, Such-Community2462, chimed in with, “Same exact thing is happening to me too… weird that it’s also only one of my accounts.” The pattern suggests this isn’t a total app failure but something tied to certain profiles.
I’ve been able to use every Instagram feature without running into any issues. So it’s not clear what exactly might be the culprit behind the problem users have been facing for several hours.
There’s still no official word from Meta on what’s causing the trouble or when it might be fixed. This silence is leaving users annoyed and uncertain about when they’ll get back to scrolling as usual.
Earlier this month Instagram users were running into another weird glitch which resulted in the app logging them out of their accounts for no apparent reason. The outage is hitting hard for people who depend on Instagram. Influencers, marketers, and small business owners use the app to connect with followers and make money.
When it’s down this long, it can mess with their income. Even regular users are feeling the pinch. For those who rely on Instagram to chat with friends or keep up with family, the downtime is a real inconvenience.
We’ll keep an eye out for any further developments and will post an update if and when there’s something to share. In the meantime, let us know if Instagram has started loading as usual or if you’re still stuck.
