In short, Instagram is not working and users are looking for possible solutions to continue to publish photos and Stories.

How come Instagram does not work
The possible causes of Instagram down there are already several hypotheses around. The most credited, however, would fall most of the responsibility on the social-photographic network. In recent days, in fact, Instagram is engaged in a tough fight against fake accounts, which inflate the statistics of influencers (or allegedly so) both in terms of followers and in terms of likes. To remedy this “plague”, the developers would have developed a new artificial intelligence capable of recognizing accounts fake and delete them. The same tactic used in recent months on Facebook and that has led to the elimination of over 1 billion fake profiles. According to many, during these operations of “cleaning”, the Instagram bots would have overloaded the servers of the social network, sending them crashing. So it would explain a malfunction spread practically on a global scale and the scope so vast.
