#InstagramDown in the UAE, UK, Australia etc

Tried to go on Instagram in the UAE this morning?

You probably had a little difficulty, because Instagram is down and it seems to be global. Users were greeted with empty profiles and a message that the app "cannot refresh feed". The web version of the app is also faced problems. Heading to any page brought up only a "5xx Server Error". Instagram is yet to comment on the crash. Some people in the UAE worried that it may now be blocked, but luckily that wasn't the case. Another outlet reported that the photo and video-sharing social networking owned by Facebook crashed across the UAE, UK and Australia.
