The social media app Instagram went down for the second time in a week. Yes, the service was down under the information received and this caused a lot of difficulties to the users. According to reports, it was affected for some time after 12 pm. Meanwhile, users were able to send messages through Instagram but their feed was not being updated. The hashtag #instagramdownagain also went on Twitter after Instagram went down. In fact, Twitter users kept posting memes. However, after a while, Instagram started working normally again which brought relief to the users. There are reports that apart from Instagram, Facebook Messenger was also reported down.

Facebook issued a statement apologising to users and blamed the technical flaw for the disruption.

On the other hand, the company said, "We apologise to those who have not been able to use our products for the last two hours and who have faced difficulties. The problem has been solved and everything has returned to normal.''

A statement issued by Facebook said, "We are aware that some people are finding it difficult to use our apps and products. We are working on it. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
