Instagram is apparently hit by technical glitches as many netizens are complaining on social media that they are facing issues with the app.

According to Downdetector, a platform that tracks online service disruptions, over 700 complaints were logged around 10:37 AM. This marks the second significant disruption in less than a week, following similar issues on November 13.

The latest outage seems to be hitting India particularly hard, with most complaints originating from the region. Downdetector's data reveals that 42% of users reported login issues, 39% faced server connection problems, and 19% encountered general app difficulties. Globally, users from various countries also reported problems, many taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share their grievances about the widespread outage.
