Meta Platform's Instagram was back up for most users after a global outage, the photo-sharing platform said on Thursday, adding that an hours-long technical issue has been resolved.
"Earlier tonight, a technical issue caused people to have trouble accessing Instagram. We resolved this issue for everyone as quickly as possible," Instagram said in a tweet.
Downdetector, which tracks outages, reported more than 53,000 incidents of users being unable to access Instagram at the peak of the outage. The website collates status reports from a number of sources, including user-submitted errors on its platform.
As Instagram was coming back online, Downdetector said reports of outages had fallen below 1,000 in the United States.
Reports of issues came down to less than 100 reports in the UK, India, Japan and Australia, the outage-tracking website showed.
