Instagram ‘We’re Sorry Something Went Wrong’ Error (Fixed !)
Getting the Instagram We’re Sorry Something Went Wrong and ‘Couldn’t Refresh Feed’ error messages when trying to check the timeline? The always spinning wheel fails to load the latest posts & Reels and asks you to try again? This is caused by an ongoing Instagram downtime!
Instagram Down Worldwide
These errors are caused by a global Facebook outage that’s affecting all apps from the network including Messenger (down), WhatsApp (down) and Instagram.
The problem plays for both iOS and Android devices, as well as the web interface accessed from Mac and Windows!
Update: After almost 7 hours of downtime Instagram and the other Facebook apps seem to have returned back online! Can you confirm this at your end too? Use the comments section please!
Facebook confirmed the Instagram downtime on Twitter:
Instagram and friends are having a little bit of a hard time right now, and you may be having issues using them. Bear with us, we’re on it! #instagramdown

How To Fix Instagram We’re Sorry Something Went Wrong
Unfortunately, there is nothing that you can do to refresh the timeline, load Reels and other IG posts. Patience is a virtue in this case. We can only wait until Facebook sorts is servers, or DNS issues and gets its apps back online.
Force closing Instagram, restarting iPhone and even offloading and re-installing the app won’t help because this issue is not occurring locally on your iPhone or Android smartphone!
Instagram Downtime Status
We’re trying to keep everyone updated. If Instagram starts working normally on your device please use the comments section and let us know!
Do mention your device and country, because Facebook’s apps might start working in various places around the globe as the servers restart until we get a worldwide uptime again.

My facebook and messager it’s working I would like to use my Facebook and messenger
Can you please be more clear. Are they working or not?
Instagram is no longer working on my macbook air, even though my username & password are correct it says i’m not connected to the internet & to try again.
Thanks for the feedback. I just tried it on a MacBook Air (2017) and it works. Logged in and out multiple times. I would suggest you to try again, perhaps your Internet was buggy indeed. Or, there was a small Instagram outage that prevented log-ins. Should work OK now. Keep us updated please.
