About Instagram
Instagram is Meta's photo and video network with feeds, stories, reels and direct messages. The website instagram.com and the apps share the same servers and content delivery network as Facebook, so outages often affect both services together. Instagram is popular with businesses and creators, which makes any interruption very visible. If instagram.com does not load in one country while it works elsewhere, that points to a local restriction or a problem with a provider rather than a global outage.

Frequently asked questions
Is Instagram down right now?
Not for most of the world. In our latest check on 12 November 2026, 11:21 UTC instagram.com opened from 83 of 86 countries. If it does not open for you, the cause is more likely local: your provider, your network or a restriction in your country. Run a new check to see the current result for your country.
Why does Instagram not open in my country?
When instagram.com works in other countries but not in yours, there are three usual reasons: a restriction ordered by authorities, filtering by your provider, or a network problem between your provider and Instagram. A different security certificate, a reset connection or a wrong address from DNS are typical signs of filtering; a timeout can be either filtering or a network fault.
How is instagram.com checked?
From measurement points in about 90 countries we look up the address of instagram.com with the local DNS and open a secure connection to it, checking that the site returns its own certificate. We do not load the page content, and we do not publish which networks the measurements came from.
