Instagram Suffers Worldwide Outage After Launching Snapchat-Copycat Filters
Instagram, the popular photo-sharing app owned by Facebook Inc., suffered a widespread outage on Tuesday just as it was rolling out a new feature.
The outage occurred in the early afternoon, with users first reporting around 1:09 ET, according to Downdetector.com, a website that monitors outages on popular social media and web-based platforms. As of 4 p.m. ET, it was mostly resolved.
Predictably, users took to Twitter to commiserate and troll the social-media giant.
