The reason behind the current outage is yet to be identified and Instagram has not released any official statement regarding the issue till filing of this article.

India is home to the largest user base to Meta’s family of apps. While Facebook accounts for 378 Mn users in the country, WhatsApp and Instagram have 478 Mn and 362 Mn users respectively, as per Statista.

Last month, Instagram faced an outage for several users in India, where over 64% of users experienced problems logging into the app, while 24% faced server connection issues.

Prior to that, Instagram also experienced an outage lasting several minutes, leaving thousands of users worldwide unable to access the platform, in June. 

Earlier this year, Meta-owned Instagram and WhatsApp were down for several hours, causing disruptions for local businesses.

Meanwhile, in a major blow to WhatsApp, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) fined a sum of INR 213.14 Cr on its parent Meta for abusing its dominant position, a day ago. The penalty pertains to WhatsApp’s 2021 privacy policy case.
