On late-Tuesday afternoon, some Instagram users were unable to log on to the app due to an error.
An error message ‘Oops, an error occurred’ appears when some users try to log on to the app. It seems like the outage has affected only some users as others are able to access the app, even after logging out and then logging in.

Like To Instagram Your Food? Here's What Marco Pierre White, Garima Arora And Other Celeb C...

Shoots, Eats And Leaves
Documenting on Instagram what’s on your plate seems to be the order of the day. But what do these chefs think when patrons whip out their phones and photograph the food?
Tepid Taste
Michelin star chef Marco Pierre White
“Everyone goes to restaurants for different reasons — some go for the ambiance, some for the name on the door, some to click pictures of the food. I go to restaurants to be fed. As it is, chefs spend so much time making dishes look pretty, that by the time the food reaches the table, it’s tepid. Enjoy the food, not your phone.”
Accept And Respect
Michelin Star Chef Garima Arora
“It is a two-way street and you have to meet halfway. The guests have to respect your food and we have to understand that the guests have to enjoy the experience in their own way.”
Call It Off
Manu Chandra, Chef Partner, Olive Group
“I see no harm in people Instagramming their food before eating. It’s far less harmful than being glued to your phone through out the meal. Also it’s free marketing for restaurants.
"People who use their phone during dinner, well that is rude. No message will end the world if you don’t check it whilst eating. I don’t use social media much and don’t see how it’s had any adverse effect on my life. I’m just fine, thank you.”
Photographic Memory
Chef And Restaurateur Floyd Cardoz
“Everyone’s dining experience is their own. If someone wants to Instagram their food, I do not have a problem with it. I love taking pictures of my food, I love recording what I have eaten — it helps me remember any credible dish I have had. I think people should do it, as long as they don’t use the flash and disturb other guests. You’re paying for it, you can do what you want. Taking pictures of what we have eaten have become a big part of how we live. I want my guests to have a good time.”
