"Instagram not opening for anyone else??
yo is it just me or is instagram not opening rn?? i keep tapping the app and it either crashes or just sits there loading forever.
tried restarting my phone, even reinstalled the app... no luck.
anyone else dealing with this or am i cursed? 😭
also, wifi’s fine, other apps work. so weird.
pls tell me it’s not just me lol.
update: just checked downdetector and seems like a bunch of ppl are reporting it. guess it’s down? ugh.
Same here! Instagram not opening for me either. Tried on my phone and tablet—both stuck on the loading screen.
Checked Downdetector and Twitter, and yeah, looks like it’s a widespread outage.
For real-time updates, I usually check @InstagramComms on Twitter or downdetector.com. They’re usually the first to confirm these things.
Hope it’s back soon, this is my daily dopamine hit lol.
ugh yes!! instagram not opening is driving me nuts rn.
my friends are having the same issue too, so def not just you.
pro tip: if you wanna see if it’s really down, try opening instagram.com on a browser. if that also fails, it’s 100% their servers.
also, isitdownrightnow.com is a quick way to check without installing anything.
Not just you! Instagram not opening here either.
Tried everything—cleared cache, reinstalled, even switched to mobile data. No luck.
Downdetector’s blowing up with reports, so it’s definitely an outage.
Funny how one app going down makes you realize how much you use it lol.
yoo same!! instagram not opening is a mood killer fr.
my feed was working fine like 10 mins ago, then poof—nothing.
if you’re desperate, try the web version (instagram.com), but even that’s lagging for me.
side note: why does this always happen when i’m bored?? 😂
Update: Finally got in after like 20 tries!
Seems like it’s slowly coming back for some people. Still super glitchy tho.
Thanks for the Downdetector tip—totally forgot that site existed.
Anyone else’s feed loading but stories broken? Or is that just me now? 😅
Yeah, Instagram not opening seems to be a global thing rn.
Downdetector shows a huge spike in reports, so it’s not just your phone acting up.
For quick updates, I’d recommend following @NetBlocks on Twitter—they track outages like this in real-time.
Hang tight, it’ll probably be back soon!
omg i thought my phone was broken! instagram not opening had me stressing.
glad it’s not just me tho.
if you’re curious, outagedetector.com is another good site to check.
also, weirdly, my DMs work if i open them from notifications?? but the app itself is dead. so strange.
