Instagram not working? Common problems and fixes
What usually helps when Instagram fails for you while it works for others.
Check instagram.com from our serverGuides
“Couldn’t refresh feed”
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data and restart the app. If it shows on every connection and for friends too, Instagram has a problem.
Can’t log in, or asked to confirm it’s you
Instagram sends a code by email or SMS when a login looks unusual. Use “Forgot password” or the Accounts Center if the code doesn’t arrive.
Messages or stories won’t send
Update the app, check your connection and free some storage on the phone. Sending fails for everyone during wider outages.
“Action blocked” or “Try again later”
Instagram limits actions that look automated, such as many likes or follows in a short time. It applies to your account only; wait a day before trying again.

About Instagram outages
Is Instagram down right now?
No, Instagram is not down right now: instagram.com answered our check at 23:17 UTC.
When was Instagram last down?
Our checks haven’t found Instagram down since we started checking it on 16 Oct 2026.
How often does Instagram go down?
Since we started checking Instagram on 16 Oct 2026, our checks every 2 minutes have not found Instagram down.
How does Uptimecheck check Instagram?
We request https://www.instagram.com/ every 2 minutes from Stockholm, London and New York. Any answer below HTTP 500 within 10 seconds counts as up, since large sites often answer automated requests with 403. A failure only counts once a second check confirms it.
What can I do when Instagram is down?
Check Instagram’s official status page for updates and try again in a few minutes. If instagram.com works for us but not for you, try another network or browser, or clear your DNS cache. If your own product depends on Instagram, tell your customers on your status page before they email support.
Why is Instagram not working for me when it is up?
Our check shows that instagram.com answers. Your own network, a VPN, browser extensions, an outdated app or a problem with your account can still break Instagram for you alone. The common problems on this page list what usually helps, and when many people report the same problem, it shows here.
Can I get an alert when Instagram goes down?
Instagram has no status page we can read, so bookmark this page. For your own websites and APIs, Uptimecheck checks as often as every minute and alerts you by email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, push or webhook.
