You likely already know this – or at least, you probably suspected. But a new report from ToolTester has shown that Instagram is the social media platform that’s seen the most crashes over the past year.
Gaming-based platforms Discord and Steam lead the way right after Snapchat. On the social media front, Instagram is out in front, with 192 total outages in the US and the UK, while Twitter (54 outages) and Snapchat (48) came second and third, respectively.

Most of all these glitches are usually rectified quickly, so people haven’t had to go too long without posting updates and scrolling their feeds. But it’s interesting to note the challenges at IG, which has continued to add new features like Reels, IGTV, Stories, etc.
People very often go to Twitter right after the Instagram crash to either tweet about or to see if others have been tweeting about it. The hashtag #trending helps people know if the issue is trending or is it just a personal Instagram glitch.
Could it be getting too overloaded, or is it just a matter of increased usage – which is a good problem to have?
