Instagram not working? What to try

Website won't load

Try a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R), then a private window. If it loads there, clear the site's cookies and cache or disable extensions.

App not working

Force quit the app and reopen it, then check the App Store or Google Play for an update. Switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data rules out your network.

Pages or content not loading

Try another section of the site or the mobile app. News, sports and reference sites slow down under heavy traffic during big events.

Rule out your own connection

  • Check whether other sites load. If nothing loads, the problem is your internet connection.
  • Restart your router or switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data.
  • Turn off any VPN, ad blocker or DNS filter and try again.

Why is Instagram not working for me?

If this page shows Instagram as up, the problem is most likely on your side: your browser, app, Wi-Fi, DNS or VPN. Try a private window, another device, or mobile data. If it fails everywhere and other people are reporting problems, it's an outage.

How do I check Instagram status?

This page checks Instagram every 5 minutes from our server and shows the result, response times and outage history. Instagram also publishes an official status page with incident updates.

Can I get an alert when Instagram goes down?

Yes. Add Instagram (or your own website) as a monitor in Notifier and you'll get an email, SMS or phone call alert the moment it stops responding. The free plan covers 10 monitors. Start monitoring free.
