Why can't I update the feed on Instagram
Table of contents:
When you enter Instagram you get a message that says "News cannot be updated" and you can only see old posts? Don't worry, it's neither your account nor your application nor your mobile. It is because Instagram has crashed For a few minutes, failures have been detected in the application. As the message says, the app is unable to retrieve new posts. In fact, not only has Instagram fallen, Facebook and WhatsApp are also having problems.They all belong to Facebook, so the problem could come from the servers of the giant social network.
Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook down
Something is happening in Menlo Park, California. Three of the most important services in the world, all owned by Facebook, have been having problems for a few minutes. We are talking about Instagram, WhatsApp and the social network itself.
We detected it when trying to enter Instagram and found a message that told us "The news cannot be updated" We quickly consulted Downdetector but it did not seem to be something general, since there were practically no incidents. However, in the time it has taken us to write these first lines, thousands of cases have already been reported and alarms have been generated among the users of this increasingly used social network.
If we consult the fault map we find that the crash has occurred solely and exclusively in Spain. At least for the moment all the reported cases come from our country.
In addition to Instagram, the other two well-known platforms of Mark Zuckerberg's company are also having serious problems. Reported cases on Facebook are not as numerous as those on Instagram, but they are almost over 6,000 on Downdetector, so the drop is clear.
The failure of Facebook is, once again, concentrated in Spain. We see some cases in Europe, but the majority are concentrated in our country. The social network does not allow updating the feed, nor posting new statuses or comments Facebook Messenger doesn't work either.
The third is discord is WhatsApp, which is also suffering from the same problem. The application is unable to load the new messages of the conversations and it is also not possible to send messages or any multimedia elements The number of cases reported about the messaging application is very similar to those reported on Facebook. All of them are located, again, in Spain.
At the moment the only thing we can do is wait for Facebook to solve its problems in Spain. Some reports speak of an imminent recovery of the servers, so assume that it will not take too long.
