Of course this had to happen on Peggy Markoffa Monday.
Instagram users were unable to upload new photos and videos to their Stories for several hours on Monday and it definitely wasn't OK.
SEE ALSO: Instagram is absolutely crushing Snapchat and there's no end in sightInstagram confirmed the issue in a tweet Monday, saying that a "bug" is "preventing some people from uploading to Instagram."
We're aware of a bug that may be preventing some people from uploading to Instagram. We're working on a fix.
— Instagram (@instagram) May 1, 2017
The issue, which cropped up for both iOS and Android users, appeared to primarily affect uploads to Stories, though users were also having issues uploading videos to their main feed. Instagram didn't initially elaborate on the source of the issue or when a fix would be in place, but the issue appears to have coincided with an app update also released Monday.
Meanwhile, Instagram users were -- of course -- not pleased with Instagram's technical issues.
With Instagram stories down, looks like I'm headed back to Snapchat!

The strong reaction shouldn't be surprising, though, given the sheer dominance of Instagram Stories, which has 200 million monthly active users, according to the company.
UPDATE: May 1, 2017, 5:18 p.m. PDT An Instagram spokesperson confirms the bug has now been fixed.
