Is Instagram down?
Live status for Instagram (https://instagram.com)
About Instagram outages
Instagram is Meta’s photo and video sharing platform. Because it shares infrastructure with Facebook and WhatsApp, Instagram outages often hit several Meta apps at once, with feeds, stories, and DMs failing together.
Instagram publishes official incident updates at its status page — worth checking alongside our live test above.
Instagram FAQ
Why does my Instagram feed say "Couldn’t refresh feed"?
That error appears both during real Instagram outages and when your session or connection is the problem. If our check says Instagram is reachable, clear the app cache, check your data connection, or try the web version at instagram.com.
Are Instagram and Facebook down at the same time?
Frequently, yes. Instagram runs on Meta’s shared backbone, so a major incident often affects Facebook, Messenger, and WhatsApp simultaneously. Meta publishes platform incidents on its official status site.
Is Instagram down for everyone or just me?
We test Instagram (https://instagram.com) live from our own servers. If our check succeeds but you still can't connect, the outage is probably local to you — try another network or device, clear your cache, or check Instagram's official status channels.
