On Instagram, the Feed as well as Stories section is unable to new load images, but is showing posts that were seen by users before. While images simply failed to load on app, post show text saying “Image may contain: one or more people, cloud, sky, outdoor and closeup” on desktop.
While people continue to rant on Twitter about the outages, Twitter's DM delivery and notifications also appears to be malfunctioning. Twitter Support was quick to acknowledge the issue.
