UPDATE, Saturday April 12, 6:47 p.m. ET -- An Instagram spokesperson contacted Mashable to share news that this issue has been resolved.

Instagram appears to be down for most users.

Mobile users are able to open the app, but no new images are displayed. The app perpetually loads without actually surfacing new photos.

Instagram did not immediately respond to Mashable's request for comment, but the company did tweet that it is working to fix the problem.

We’re working to fix a feed delivery issue. Thank you for your patience.— Instagram (@instagram) April 12, 2014

In the meantime, Instagram users are flocking to Twitter to express frustration -- most of which appears to be in good humor. Users are utilizing the hashtag #InstagramIsDown to share comments and funny photos.

We will update this story when we hear more about the issue.
