Pakistan had the most affected users overall.

Users of the Instagram app reported 73 percent of outages, followed by problems logging in for 23 percent of users and problems uploading videos and photos for 4 percent of users, according to data gathered by the tracker.
Twitter was the first platform to display loading errors and to report that “A problem has occurred” on this Thursday, July 14 in the morning, but after a few hours these reports faded and they started to appear in one of Meta’s social networks: Instagram.
Several users began to report problems with the social network around 3 p.m. CT, including loading problems and session restarts that forced users off the website.

In a statement sent via email, a Meta representative said, “W “We are aware that some users are experiencing access issues with Instagram. We are sorry for any inconvenience and are working to restore things to normal.” By 4 am, the majority of the problems had been fixed, and Instagram has been successful ever since.

Like Facebook’s Brand Collabs Manager platform, which you can see in this screenshot, Instagram’s Creator Marketplace will let advertisers look for potential creators to collaborate with on campaigns.
According to Instagram
“Instagram’s creator marketplace is a brand-new location where businesses can locate creators they might want to collaborate with. They can filter creators by gender, age, number of followers, and interests using the desktop application of Meta Business Suite.
They will also be able to see creators who have expressed interest in working with them, have tagged them, or follow them, as well as creators who are similar to those they have already discovered through the platform. These filters include gender, age, interests, country, and city.
