How long do Instagram outages usually last?

Most Instagram outages resolve within minutes to a few hours. Extended outages are rare for major services. Check our incident history for past resolution times.

Does Instagram have an official status page?

Instagram does not publish a dedicated status page. WebsiteDown monitors instagram.com with HTTP probes, AI source scanning, and community reports.

Instagram is a web service at instagram.com. Visit the Instagram status page on WebsiteDown for outage data, community reports, and AI-sourced intelligence.

Are other social media platforms also down?

Check our internet status page for a live overview of major social media services. Outages sometimes affect multiple platforms when they share infrastructure.

Can I still post on Instagram during an outage?

During partial outages, some Instagram features may work while others don't. Try the mobile app if the web version is down, or wait for the issue to resolve.

Instagram answered our probe, but measures as unreachable from mainland China.

Volunteers running OONI on Chinese networks recorded 3,541 anomalous results in 4,210 tests (84%) between 2026-06-01 and 2026-08-29.

Our own probe runs from one region outside China, so it cannot see this. If you are in China and it will not load, the service is most likely fine and the network in between is not.
