Instagram not working for you?

If we show Instagram as up but it won't load for you, try these steps:

  1. Pull to refresh or reload the page. Feeds sometimes fail while the rest of Instagram works.
  2. Update the app, or clear its cache (on Android: Settings → Apps → Instagram → Storage).
  3. Log out and back in if you see login or 'session expired' errors.
  4. If only uploads fail, try a smaller photo or video, or switch networks.

Why is Instagram not working for me?

If Instagram is up for us but not for you, the cause is usually local: an outdated browser cache, a DNS problem, your internet connection, a VPN or ad blocker, or an out-of-date app. Work through the steps under "Instagram not working for you?" above.

How do you check if Instagram is down?

Our server requests https://www.instagram.com/ every 2 minutes from outside your network. If Instagram answers at all, even with a redirect or a sign-in page, we count it as up. Timeouts, refused connections, DNS failures and 5xx server errors count as down. Press "Check now" to run a live test at any time.
