San Francisco: Facebook-owned Instagram suffered a major outage with users around the world reporting that they weren’t able to access the photo sharing platform’s app and website.
The photo-sharing platform was also hit by a massive outage almost 10 days ago that hindered app logins, page refreshes, commenting on posts and uploading content on the platform.
“We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing their Instagram accounts. We’re working quickly to fix the issue. #instagramdown,” Instagram tweeted Friday.
