Early this morning, popular photo sharing app, Instagram crashed and it affetced several cities in the world sending social media into chaos!
When it crashed, people were prevented from posting pictures as several cities, including London, San Francisco and Singapore, reported the outage.
Its app displayed the Instagram name and icons at the bottom but the rest of the page was blank with a message saying "couldn't refresh feed". On the website there was just a white page with "5xx Access Error" in the corner.
See how people reacted to the global outage below....
i deleted the app & downloaded it again hoping it would work but now i can’t get pass the login page. #instagramdown
Is anyone else having problems getting into Instagram? All my accounts won’t load and when I reinstalled the app it won’t let me log into any of the accounts.... @instagram #help

I literally deleted Instagram then downloaded it again to see if it was a WiFi problem but no instagram has stopped working

Instagram can be down for 24 hours without me knowing. I only visit there to post pictures whenever I wear a new clothe. #instagramdown
After refreshing and turning on data, then thinking I’d been hacked , I came onto Twitter to check if instagram is down. Twitter confirmed Instagram is in fact down . #instagramdown
One director/ filmmaker in nollywood just thought of making a movie titled Instagram is down #instagramdown
