New Delhi: Instagram appears to be facing a glitch; As a result, users cannot open a single image or post on the desktop version of Meta’s own photo sharing platform. Zee News English independently verified the bug with the desktop version of Instagram and found that there was no response when clicking on an individual post. Typically, clicking on a post opens it in a feed format, allowing users to see more posts by scrolling down. But that didn’t happen even after clicking on multiple posts.
Meanwhile, Instagram faced a minor outage earlier in the day, with thousands of users complaining that the app wasn’t working for them. According to Downdetector.com, nearly 24,000 Instagram users were impacted by 5 p.m. ET, according to outage tracking website Downdetector, which collects status reports from a number of sources in the United States, Reuters reported.

Later in the day, however, the situation improved, with around 2,000 users affected by the outage, according to Downdetector.
Meanwhile, Twitter Inc had a nearly three-hour outage on Thursday (July 14) that affected up to 50,000 users at peak times, according to information available on Downdetector.com.
Technical problems with the microblogging platform meant that several users could not see their feed, like, retweet and comment on other posts. However, some users remained unaffected and dealt with the endless outages on Twitter.
