Reports of an Instagram outage in the United States dropped significantly on Wednesday morning, indicating that the issue has been mostly resolved. According to Downdetector.com, which tracks service disruptions, the number of reported incidents fell from over 11,000 earlier in the day to just 619 by 9:32 a.m. ET.

Meta, the parent company of Instagram, did not respond to requests for comment regarding the cause of the disruption. Last year, Meta’s platforms, including Facebook and WhatsApp, experienced multiple outages, including a widespread global disruption in March.

Downdetector compiles outage data based on user-submitted reports, meaning the actual number of affected users may vary. Despite the initial surge in reports, the swift decline suggests that normal service has been restored for most Instagram users.
