"Earlier today, a technical issue caused some people to have trouble accessing Instagram. We resolved the issue as quickly as possible for everyone who was impacted," a Meta spokesperson told Reuters.
The company did not disclose the number of users affected by the disruption. Outage tracking website Downdetector.com showed more than 100,000 incidents in the United States, 24,000 in Canada and over 56,000 in Britain.
More than 180,000 users reported issues with accessing Instagram at the peak of the outage.
According to Downdetector.com, 92 per cent of issues were on the app, six per cent via the website and two per cent on the login.
Users could not refresh their feed or post during the outage.
It came after Instagram experienced an outage on March 9 where thousands of users reported similar issues.
