If you're having trouble logging into your Instagram account today, you're not alone. A problem is causing some users to be locked out of their accounts, Instagram said Thursday.

The company said it's "working hard" on a fix for the issue, but didn't specify the cause.

We're currently experiencing an issue that may have caused some users to have trouble logging in. We’re working hard to fix it.— Instagram (@instagram) July 16, 2015

Affected users report they were logged out of their accounts and have been unable to log back in. It's unclear how many people are being impacted by the glitch, though many disgruntled users have already moved over to Twitter to complain about the disruption.
