Meta-owned Instagram was back online after a brief global outage on Tuesday as users witnessed errors saying the app couldn’t refresh, while it also went blank for some others. According to the website outage tracking portal DownDetector, more than 59,000 users reported the outage issue. Around 85 per cent of people had reported problems with the app, 10 per cent while using the website, and 6 per cent with the Instagram feed. “Every time I went to launch the app, it would crash, leave my feeds blank, and my messages would vanish. This was happening with my personal account, which was linked to my business account,” a user said. “I can’t access my IG account or the web on either my PC or my phone, no matter what I do. I’ve been attempting to do this for a while. It is very annoying,” another user wrote.
