INSTAGRAM is reportedly down as thousands have reported issues with the app.

On Tuesday at around 1 p.m. EST, thousands of users reported problems with the popular social media app Instagram.

Around 44% of users reported problems with logging in; 43% had issues with the app; 13% has issues with the website, per Downdetector.

Almost 2,500 people have reported issues in the U.S. and that figure continues to rise.

Several users took to DownDetector's comments section to express their dismay with the app being down.

"It's back on pc for me, but I can't send messages," one person wrote.

A second person echoed: "Instagram is working for me mostly, but I can't send any DMs to some of my international group chats."

"Mine says there's a network error," a third person remarked.

"It says it can’t find the Instagram server," a fourth frustrated user added.

As everyone is reporting different problems with the app, it's not clear at the moment what is causing the issue.

Furthermore, many users are saying they no longer are having problems with the app.

The Sun has reached out to Meta, which owns Instagram, for comment.
