If you were not able to log in your Instagram account recently or you were not able to view or like any of the photos of the people you follow - you are not alone. Instagram experienced major server issues, which started at around 1:30PM ET. We detected the problem in the first minutes of the occurrence. The site was intermittently returning 503 - Internal Server Error, 5xx errors or it was timing out after 30 seconds.

Update: Instagram claims that the issue has been resolved, but we will continue monitoring the website and we will let you know if the problem persists.
