Only last week, Twitter users complained about the server malfunctioning. They claimed that the issues were faced after Twitter Users tried to log into their accounts using a web browser.

Earlier this month, Instagram users across the United States and the United kingdom were being hit with an error message when they open the application with some features seemingly not working on the popular photo-sharing app.

“Try again later- we limit how often you can do certain things on Instagram to protect our community” is the message that is greeting many users throughout the world.

Some users say that stories are appearing blank while others are not able to do almost anything on their favourite pastime. The hashtag #instagramdown began trending on Twitter as users demanded a fix.
