Instagram was down for users worldwide Monday afternoon, leaving thousands of people unable to scroll, post and like.
The outage hit the Meta-owned platform around 2pm ET afternoon, with many users citing issues with the app, Feed and logging into accounts.
Issues were reported in the US, the UK, Europe, Asia and other parts of the globe.
Many users flocked to Elon Musk's X to see if others were experiencing problems, with some joking that it is interesting that Instagram would go down on April Fool's Day.
