One user inquired, ” Nothing will load on my account???? but when i switch over to another one it does load??? is instagram down or did they ban my account?”
Another commented, “I was posting a video and I’m like I hope I’m not banned lol so you guys are experiencing the issue too like it loads the feed kind of I think like their servers crashed or something.”
A third user added, “Wait… did everyone just get abruptly logged out of Facebook, Instagram and threads, or did I literally just get hacked? Tried lreloading pages and it’s giving me a blank white screen and a brutal “something went wrong ” loop. Facebook down it seems.”
