Social media platform Instagram was down across several countries around the world.

People were prevented from posting pictures of their breakfast on Wednesday after Instagram went down for about an hour.

Its app displayed the Instagram name and icons at the bottom but the rest of the page was blank.

Facebook Inc, which owns the picture sharing platform, was not immediately available for comment.
