The Instagram outage follows last week’s WhatsApp outage when the app went down for a little over an hour. WhatsApp has over 1 billion users, across the world and over 200 million in India alone. WhatsApp had later issued a statement on the subject saying, “Earlier today, WhatsApp users globally had trouble accessing the app for about an hour. This issue has been fixed and we apologise for the inconvenience.”
