An error on the popular photo-sharing app Instagram is causing chaos around the globe Tuesday.
User feeds have been unable to refresh, leading many people to move to Twitter for the time being in order to check on the situation. The technical problem is not allowing the app or website to properly refresh new content with new posts.
While the feed may appear to be working properly, some users have complained they are unable to pull the app down to see new content as a warning message pops up saying, 鈥淲e鈥檙e sorry, but something went wrong. Please try again.鈥�
Other messages say items have failed to load, or that the page couldn鈥檛 refresh its feed.
We're aware that some users are having trouble accessing their Instagram accounts. We鈥檙e working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible!

A hashtag on Twitter 鈥� #instagramdown 鈥� has already begun to trend, and the company has just now addressed the problem although some users say this has affected their ability to procrastinate in some cases for up to three hours.

Hour 3 of not working. If this lasts much longer, I might have to do something I normally avoid: actually make phone calls to friends and find out their life isn鈥檛 as perfect as their instagram posts might suggest 馃し鈥嶁檪锔�

But it is good to see this technical glitch provided everyone with another opportunity to work on their meme game.
