Instagram users are reporting the site is down, and some Facebook users are experiencing problems too.
From around 2.30pm today, both of the social networking services were glitchy as users were having trouble posting and logging in.
The website downdetector.com revealed a spike in reports of problems with the site with 41 per cent having news feed issues, 38 per cent unable to post and 20 per cent having trouble with Instagram stories.
People are getting the message: "Can’t refresh feed” and “We’re sorry, but something went wrong” when trying to access Instagram.
The sharing feature on Facebook is not working for some, reports the Mirror , and some users say they have been unable to comment or upload photos.
Others have received a message that social networking site is down for required maintenance and would be up again in a few minutes.
Messenger chats have also stopped working for many, while some have reported a total blackout.
Both Android and iPhone users appear to be having issues.
Instagram is a part of Facebook, with users able to share images between the social networks.
