About Instagram
Instagram is Meta's photo and video platform, running on infrastructure shared with Facebook, WhatsApp and Threads. Uploads, feeds and direct messages are separate subsystems that can fail independently.
Common Instagram problems
- Feed not refreshing or showing "Couldn't refresh feed".
- Uploads and Stories failing while browsing works.
- Direct messages not sending or delivering late.
- Reels not loading while static posts display normally.
- Simultaneous Facebook and WhatsApp problems, indicating a Meta-wide incident.
Where to check officially
- Official Meta status page: metastatus.com.
- Creator and business account issues are also tracked in the Meta Business Help Centre.
- We add news coverage and user reports on top of these sources.
What to do when Instagram is down
- Check whether Facebook and WhatsApp also fail to confirm a platform-wide incident.
- Do not repeatedly retry a failed upload. Duplicate posts frequently appear once the queue clears.
- Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data once to rule out your own connection.
- Avoid logging out. Signing back in during an outage can fail even with correct credentials.

- Why do Stories fail while my feed works?
- Stories, Reels and the main feed run as separate services. A failure in the media upload pipeline blocks Stories while cached feed content keeps loading.
- Will my failed upload post twice later?
- It can, if you retried several times. Check your profile once the service recovers and delete duplicates.
