Instagram Faces Outage in India, Users Report Login and Upload Issues

New Delhi: Popular photo‑sharing platform Instagram is facing technical problems in India, with users reporting difficulties logging in, uploading content, and connecting to servers.

Data from user reports shows that the most common problems include login failures (48%), app malfunctions (30%), and server connection errors (23%). Many users say they are unable to post photos or videos, while others complain that they cannot access their accounts at all. The disruption appears to be concentrated in India, unlike a previous outage earlier this month that affected Instagram globally.
