Instagram down on September 16, 2019, what do we know
At the moment, from the secret rooms of Menlo Park, no statements have arrived neither official nor unofficial. We do not know, therefore, if the problem is localized only in Italy or affects other nations. Above all, there is no news about the timing of a possible intervention. In short, we don’t know if and when Instagram will return to normal.
Reading among the comments of Down Detector, it turns out that most of the problems concern the login within your profile. Those who, for one reason or another, had disconnected from their profile were no longer able to connect. Still unknown the causes of this problem, although it is possible to assume an update of the platform that did not give the expected results.
Most likely, the technicians of Instagram are already working to understand what went wrong and restore the situation. We will continue to follow the evolution of the Instagram down and will keep you updated in the coming hours.
