Instagram goes down for some users

By Catherine Thorbecke

Thousands of Instagram users reported issues with accessing the platform on Monday morning.

Approximately 7,000 users reported the app was down around 10:15 a.m. ET, according to outage-tracking site Down Detector. After about 45 minutes, however, the number of reports had dipped noticeably.

Instagram said in a tweet Monday that it had fixed the issue.

“We’ve resolved this bug now — it was causing people in different parts of the world to have issues accessing their accounts and caused a temporary change for some in number of followers,” the company tweeted. “Sorry!”

Additional information on the cause of the outage was not immediately available.
