Instagram isn\u2019t working for users in the U.S., England and elsewhere. Both the Instagram app and website won\u2019t load. Instagram tells me it\u2019s looking into the problem but doesn\u2019t have an answer yet.<\/p>\n

Reports of the Instagram outage began around 10:35am Pacific, though by 11:04am some users in the states and U.K. were regaining access to the website. At that time, Instagram tweeted that it is aware of and working on the issue:<\/p>\n

Instagram is trying to box out Snapchat for visual communication across the globe. But with its move from a delayed, best-of photo feed to a real-time Stories platform, maximizing uptime is critical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
