Following the issues, the hashtag #InstagramDown is trending on Twitter, as hundreds are reporting similar issues of being unable to login to their profiles. Instagram has confirmed it is looking into the issues and has apologised for the inconvenience caused.
One person wrote:: "Did anyone else's Instagram just get suspended for no reason? And now Instagram won't even bother to let you appeal it just gives you an error?"
While another asked: "What happened for Instagram ? It has suspended my account for no reason. Is anyone's account been suspended like this for no reason?!"
And another disgruntled user posted: "My account was completely disabled. It had me appeal the decision and then it logged me out and now says my user name or email isn’t found . I’ve been a user since 2012. I have photos I don’t want to lose on Instagram."
In a statement shared on Instagram's Twitter page, it read: "We're aware that some of you are having issues accessing your Instagram account. We're looking into it and apologize for the inconvenience #instagramdown."
