Instagram experienced a widespread service disruption on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, impacting a significant number of users in the United States. Reports of the outage began surfacing around 12 pm ET, with Downdetector registering nearly 17,000 user reports. While the platform appears to be back online, the outage caused considerable frustration, leading users to seek updates and report issues on other social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter).

According to Downdetector, the primary issues reported by Instagram users revolved around problems with the app (67%), followed by general feed updates (26%) and login issues (6%). In the US, reports peaked at 16,747 before declining to 849 by midday. Some users reported disappearing follower pages and inaccessible profiles.

While the outage was significant in the US, India also experienced a brief hiccup, with approximately 650 reports of service disruption.

The cause of the outage remains unknown, and Instagram has not yet released an official statement explaining the disruption.

This isn't the first time Instagram has faced such widespread disruptions. In March 2025, a similar outage affected tens of thousands of users across the US. Although operations largely returned to normal within a few hours, some users experienced disruptions for up to 12 hours. During that event, Downdetector recorded over 31,000 user reports, with the majority (72%) experiencing problems with the app itself and 24% reporting server connection issues.

Many users took to X to share their frustration and humor regarding the recent outage. Some users posted memes and comments such as "Me running to twitter to see if Instagram is down for anyone else" and "Per usual, Instagram goes down and my dumbass runs to Twitter to check if it's just me". Some users linked the disruptions to heightened searches tied to the Sean Diddy trial. Others blamed the spike in searches related to the "Diddy trial". Some users complained that they were unable to see their feeds because the program kept crashing completely.

According to Downdetector, the most recent outage lasted approximately one hour.
