Instagram is having issues this afternoon, with reports of users having their accounts suspended. 

According to DownDetector, the problems started at around 13:08 GMT and are affecting users globally. 

While the reason for the outage remains unclear, several users have reported their accounts being suspended. 


Other users are reporting losing followers, potentially due to the suspended users being removed from follower counts. 

Instagram has tweeted: 'We're aware that some of you are having issues accessing your Instagram account. We're looking into it and apologize for the inconvenience.'

Another user in West Virginia said: 'Did anyone else's Instagram just get suspended for no reason? And now Instagram won't even bother to let you appeal it just gives you an error?' 

Meanwhile, a Melbourne, Australia-based user said: 'anyone else’s Instagram just randomly crashes after 30 seconds of using the app?' 

Instagram is one of several platforms owned by Meta, the company owned by Mark Zuckerberg, along with WhatsApp and Facebook. 

Only last week, WhatsApp experienced a two-hour outage that left users globally unable to send or receive messages.
