Facebook, who owns Instagram, later addressed the outage, without specifying what caused the platforms to crash.
“We’re aware that some people are currently having trouble accessing the Facebook family of apps. We’re working to resolve the issue as soon as possible,” Facebook tweeted.
“We’re focused on working to resolve the issue as soon as possible, but can confirm the issue is not related to a DDoS attack.”

At this time, Facebook and its family of apps are still down.
