Apparently, Instagram servers were down when we were asleep last night. According to sources, it happened for a few hours on Sunday evening (US time) when the feed was frozen still and couldn't refresh. Even the website version was blank.

It was unknown what caused the issue but a Meta spokesperson told the media that there was a general technical issue. It caused Instagram users unable to access the app, and the Instagram team quickly resolved the issue as soon as possible. So in other words, it was a brief outage as usual like before.

That being said, it was interesting to note that Meta's other platforms - Facebook and WhatsApp were not affected by the technical issue. During the lockdown, it was quite common to see all three platforms by Meta down at the same time, causing a lot of panic and tweets, and it happened a couple of times throughout the period.
