Instagram Down Updates – Thousands of users are reporting an outage on the social media app and issues loading posts and images

Problems with voice messages

Users say sending voice messages is proving to be a task since Instagram went down.

Users share problems they are having

Instagram users flocked to Downdetector to share their problems with the app.

One person wrote: “All my feeds were empty when I first logged in and an error message appeared on the left button of the screen saying a challenge was required.”

“After some time I tried to get back in but it said I had been logged out and I couldn’t do anything because the code they said they had provided never arrived.”

Another wrote: “Unable to log in to the app or web.”

Users complain about X

Users are turning to X, formerly known as Twitter, to complain about their DMS not loading into the app.

Remove Instagram “Try again later” feature

“Try again later” appears when the Instagram app monitors feel like a user is doing something inappropriate or trying to perform an action too quickly. This can happen during a power outage.

This is one of Instagram’s preventive measures and is designed to prevent users from spamming other users’ posts. It also keeps bots away from the website.

The “Try again later” warning may also appear if a user repeatedly comments on the same profile or if many people report the same profile.

In certain circumstances, the message is caused by a fault or a widespread outage.
