Instagram Crashing: Why Is Instagram Crashing?

Social media giant Instagram is going through a technical downtime, leading to consistent crashes almost every 30 seconds on Monday.

The issue came to the notice of some users of the platform who found it difficult to access their Instagram accounts, while others discovered their accounts had been suspended.

There had been more than 7,000 reports of downtime as of 10:15 a.m. New York time.

The user-friendly, photo app has in time past recorded minor app difficulties.

Internet users who frowned at the negative development, had taken to other social platforms to express their grievances.

“What is going on? My account literally got suspended for no reason I did not violate any community guidelines, and when I try to verify the code it’s just giving me a loading error. Is anybody else having this problem? a user wrote.

“Apparently #instagramdown anyone else affected? I am astonished.” A second user wrote, “Just lost my livelihood and years of art. Thanks insta.”

Following the many complaints, Instagram had released a statement via Twitter to address the issue.

“We’re aware that some of you are having issues accessing your Instagram account. We’re looking into it and apologize for the inconvenience. #instagramdown”, the company wrote.
