Why can't I access Instagram?
You can check if Instagram is down(new window), but the chances are that you're being blocked by your ISP (often possibly at the behest of your government), workplace, or college. It can also be blocked in schools and offices to discourage distractions.
Where is Instagram blocked?
Schools and businesses often block Instagram on their internal WiFi. And authoritarian governments often target Instagram and other social media platforms to silence dissent, limit information sharing, and manipulate public opinion.
