Facebook’s photo-sharing platform suffered a global outage on Wednesday. While no one has not yet officially commented on the reason behind the problem, people jumped to Twitter to verify if instagram is down for everyone or only them.
Many users gave suggestions on what to do while the app was down. Some chose to refresh the app every 30 seconds and some wanted to confirm the bug using the hash tag #instagramdown.

The outage comes just days after over 50 million Facebook accounts were breached by hackers.
