Instagram went down in several parts of the world due to unclear issues

The social media platform experienced technical errors resulting in users unable to refresh or upload any content.

According to Down-detector, the platform that keeps track of internet outages, the Instagram services went down at around 3pm AEST.

India seemed to be the worst hit by the outage

Swaths of consumers reported to the detection website that they were not able to access Instagram in cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chennai.

Facebook, which owns Instagram, did not publicly acknowledge the issue, but the parent company started to fix the issue nearly two hours after the issue first emerged.

Users took to Twitter to specify that they were unable to send direct messages to other users while other struggled to upload on the platform’s Stories feature.

While the fate of TikTok remains uncertain in the U.S.—there is no shortage of possibilities.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.

But as the saga continues many media outlets are defending the platform.
