Instagram Down: Netizens Flood Social Media With Memes

Meta-owned Instagram, the once-beloved platform for our daily dose of hilarious and relatable memes, has taken an unexpected tumble down the internet rabbit hole. Since Friday morning, the mighty Instagram has been experiencing a shocking downtime, leaving netizens in a state of virtual frenzy. 

Is Instagram Down?

Instagram experienced a widespread outage that affected users globally due to a technical problem. This led to a surge of frustrated users expressing their dissatisfaction on Twitter, causing the hashtag #instagramdown to trend. On Friday, many users were unable to access the platform through the app and encountered error messages such as 'sorry, couldn't refresh feed' and 'something went wrong.' Downdetector.com received thousands of reports from users about the service disruption.

This cued the meme maestros, who wasted no time in swooping down like superheroes to ensure the social media giant takes notice of its digital debacle. From Hollywood heroes to meme-making machines, netizens unleashed their creativity, armed with wit and humor, to conquer this comedic calamity!

As Instagram's servers stumbled, the online realm was set ablaze with a cacophony of memes making for a laughter riot. Memes of all shapes and sizes flooded the feeds, taking a cue from Tony Stark's iconic line, "We have a downtime problem." Armed with keyboards and a healthy dose of sarcasm, internet dwellers transformed the gloom of the outage into a technicolor spectacle of laughter.

It's as if the netizens have turned into the famous sarcastic character from Friends Chandler Bing and are spewing out sarcastically, "Could Instagram BE any more down?"

Here are some of the hilarious memes that the netizens came out with on Twitter.
