If you tried to log in to Instagram on Monday, you might have had a little trouble.

Users are reporting errors with logging into the Meta-owned social media platform, with many unable to access their accounts.

According to DownDetector (owned by Mashable's parent company, Ziff Davis), users in the UK were experiencing the outages. Instagram users in the U.S did not report similar issues at the time of writing. However, the outage follows a similar situation across Meta platforms in late February.
