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

 

This isn’t the first major outage in the last year. Meta’s social networks had a big outage around a year ago due to a problem that disconnected important elements of the company’s backbone network. In early October, Instagram addressed an issue that prohibited iOS users from accessing the site. A sudden crash problem in September also didn’t help. These problems aren’t often, but they do indicate that Instagram is still in its early stages.
