Instagram users flocked to Twitter to voice their complaints when the photo sharing site went down for several hours on Saturday.
While the Facebook-owned application was experiencing a "feed delivery issue,” it didn't take long for the hashtag #instagramnotworking to begin trending on Twitter.
Some Instagram users lamented not being able to share "selfies" or snapshots of their breakfasts. Others suggested that there was no point in doing anything interesting with their Saturday if they're not able to share on Instagram.
