Frequently Asked Questions — Instagram
Use the live status checker at the top of this page to check if Instagram (instagram.com) is down for everyone or just you. The tool tests the site in real-time and shows the current HTTP status code and response time.
Instagram may be down for everyone, or the problem could be on your end — your ISP, DNS, browser cache, or local network. Try: (1) clearing your browser cache and cookies, (2) doing a hard refresh with Ctrl+F5, (3) flushing your DNS cache, or (4) trying from a different device or network.
If our status checker above shows 'Instagram is Up' but you still cannot access it, the issue is likely on your end — such as your ISP, DNS cache, or local network configuration. If it shows 'Instagram is Down', the site has a server-side outage affecting all users globally.
If Instagram is down for everyone, the best thing to do is wait for their team to fix the issue — most outages are resolved within minutes to a few hours. You can check Instagram's official social media accounts (Twitter/X) or their official status page for real-time updates from their engineering team.
On Windows: Open Command Prompt and type 'ipconfig /flushdns' then press Enter. On Mac: Open Terminal and run 'sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder'.
