Some users believe they have been banned due to an unusual Instagram downtime

If you can’t access your Instagram feeds, you’re not alone. Instagram has stated that some users are experiencing “access difficulties” to their accounts. As of this writing, the social network has not identified a cause, but some users have gotten warnings that their accounts have been stopped, while others have seen their follower numbers decline.

We’ve reached out to Instagram for additional information on the outage and will update you as soon as we hear back. Failure reports began to spike on Downdetector just before 9 a.m. Eastern. They’re not consistent, though, because many people aren’t seeing any issues.
