Besides screaming at the sky

It’s frustrating when your Instagram account is down. We’ve all been there: suddenly your Instagram feed won’t load, or an Instagram story won’t upload, or your phone is stuck on the Instagram homepage. If you’re addicted to social media platforms, it’s more than annoying to be disconnected from your Instagram account in any way, even temporarily.

There could be many reasons why Instagram is not working. The problem could be on your end, or it could be caused by Instagram’s servers. Either way, there are certain things you can try to fix it. Follow our troubleshooting guide to help you fix Instagram issues.

If Instagram is not working for you, the first thing you should do is check online to see if Instagram is down. Instagram has a stable network and, unlike other social networks, rarely experiences outages and errors that lead to system crashes. However, this is still the first thing you should check before doing any manipulation with your app if you notice that Instagram is not working.
