Instagram goes down late Sunday, recovers – Quick wrap

For a couple of hours on Sunday evening, Instagram was down. The app’s feed was frozen, tossing users errors saying it couldn’t refresh, while the Website only gave a blank page.

Outage tracker DownDetector said the first reports of trouble started a few minutes after 6PM ET before spiking to over 175,000 reports at its peak, but by 7:30PM ET, the issue had been resolved, and it’s working again.

Instagram afterwards said it had resolved the issue as quickly as possible.
