LOS ANGELES: Instagram was evidently hit by widespread technical problems on Sept 17, with users reporting issues including the inability to log in or access their feed. The issues appeared to be mostly resolved in under an hour, with Facebook blaming an errant network-configuration change.

According to DownDetector.com, user reports of errors on Instagram began spiking just after 2pm ET, with more than 75,000 problems reported as of 2.17pm. The problems appeared most prevalent in the US – in the Northeast and in Southern California – with some reports originating out of Europe and other parts of the world.
