Instagram users in the United States reported widespread issues with uploading posts and stories on Tuesday, sparking concerns of a platform-wide outage. According to DownDetector, reports began flooding in around 9:45 p.m. EDT, with most users experiencing difficulties with story uploads. Several users took to social media to express their frustrations, with one user from Minnesota reporting a photo stuck on uploading, and another experiencing a frozen upload at 86%. Others reported being unable to post videos or any content to their stories. The issues come just hours after a major Cloudflare outage affected multiple platforms, including Gemini, Uber, Canva, ChatGPT, and X. Cloudflare's Chief Technology Officer, Dane Knecht, apologized for the incident, acknowledging the significant impact and promising to prevent similar outages in the future. As the situation unfolds, Meta Platforms has yet to respond to the reports. The cause of the Instagram upload issues remains unclear, but users are advised to monitor the situation for updates.
