For over an hour, the Instagram feed has not updated for tens of thousands of Italian users. Instagram isn’t working, but it’s not the only Facebook service down
Instagram down. Since about 12 noon today, April 14, the photographic social network is unreachable both in Italy and in the rest of the world. Most of the reports, however, comes from our country, a sign that this is a problem affecting almost exclusively Italian users. Instagram, however, is not the only service that does not work: in these same moments, in fact, even WhatsApp and Facebook are down, a sign that the entire network of services attributable to Mark Zuckerberg’s company does not work.
A problem far from new: already in recent weeks, in fact, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram had accused a structural malfunction. A causa di una modifica ai server, infatti, i social e l’app di messaggistica non sono stati utilizzabili per diverse ore, scatenando una sorta di psicosi globale. Una situazione che si sta ripetendo in questi minuti.
Instagram non va, cosa sappiamo

La mappa del malfunzionamento di Instagram
Come già accaduto a marzo, al momento i tecnici Instagram non hanno ancora reso note le possibili cause del malfunzionamento. Né informato gli utenti del fatto che è impossibile aggiornare il feed (cosa fatta, invece, l’ultima volta sul profilo ufficiale Twitter del social fotografico). In short, it’s already been an hour since the first problems and we’re still groping in the dark.
The most credited hypothesis, given that at the same time there are also WhatsApp down and Facebook down, it is easy to assume a new technical problem that has affected one of the Italian data centers of the company of Mark Zuckerberg. On the other hand, however, there is to say that in these same minutes even the major Italian telephone operators have problems with the Internet line (TIM down, Vodafone down, Fastweb down and Tre down), with thousands of reports on their malfunction. For this reason, there is a hypothesis of a problem in some Internet backbone, which has made unreachable both Facebook servers and the web hubs of Italian Internet operators.

The problems of Instagram continue to persist. The app doesn’t work and doesn’t allow you to publish new images
Update 15:00 WhatsApp down
