Filter fail: Instagram is down for some users

Trouble checking your Instagram feed today? You aren't alone as the photo-heavy social network is experiencing loading issues worldwide. 

The Instagram website and mobile app are failing to load for some users, as spotted by The Verge and backed up by our own checks. 

And for those who are able to access Instagram, load times are unusually slow or intermittent. 

Instagram tweeted out this message, confirming something is amiss, though that tweet has since been deleted:

"We know some Instagrammers are experiencing issues with the app. We're working on a fix!"

Outages are rare though not uncommon happenings for popular apps and services. Facebook, which owns Instagram, has experienced its fair share of down time over the years, along with Twitter, PlayStation Now and Google's G Suite offerings

We'll keep an eye on Insta and let you know if we learn more about what's behind the outage and when service is expected to be fully restored. Until then, keep those pro-status photos of your lunch saved to your camera roll for later.
