Users of the popular photo sharing app began complaining about a mysterious outage at around 11.10am UK time.

A spike in queries from confused Instagram lovers was also detected by Down Detector.

It’s not clear how widespread the issue is, but multiple people have flocked to Twitter to find out whether it’s an isolated incident.

“Is @instagram down again or is it just me that’s having a problem??” one confused user tweeted.

“#instagramdown again????” another added.

“Is anyone having an issue with instagram,” a third frustrated user wrote.

“why is Instagram down literally every week who’s running it ?”

The last time Instagram experienced an outage wasn’t that long ago, back at the end of October.

That issue resulted in people being incorrectly told their account had been suspended.

It doesn’t look like today’s problem is too widespread at the moment – and may well have been a short glitch in service.

It’s also worth noting that #Instagramdown usually begins trending on Twitter when the outage affects everyone.

At the moment that has not been the case, even though tweets asking what’s going on with Instagram continue to be posted.
