After joining the photo-sharing site earlier on Tuesday, Jennifer shared her very first post since joining social media as she beamed alongside her co-stars Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer.
The beloved actress, 50, shared a caption with the selfie reading: 'And now we’re Instagram FRIENDS too. HI INSTAGRAM'.
While the post quickly racked up millions of likes, Instagram was overwhelmed and began showing error messages to the fans attempting to follow Aniston, who played Rachel in the show.
'I can't follow Jennifer Aniston bc Instagram is not letting me do it aaaaaaah,' raged one.

Another joked: 'It won't let me follow Jennifer Aniston on Instagram did she block me?'
While one fan remarked: 'Jennifer Aniston really broke the internet with that selfie.'
Instagram apologized, with a spokesperson telling Page Six: 'We are aware that some people are having issues following Jen's page — the volume of interest is incredible.
'We are actively working on a solution and hope to have the page up and running smoothly again shortly.'
'She broke Instagram': Jennifer Aniston's post was a sensation on social media
After the initial hiccup, the problem was soon fixed.
Jennifer then gathered 1.4million followers with five hours of posting the image, while her photo had just under four million likes.
While she set up her account back in September, her speed to reach one million followers rivals that of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Prince Harry and Meghan hold the Guinness World Record for the fastest account to get one million likes - having reached the figure in five hours and 45 minutes.

To mark 25 years since the show was on, David also shared a snap to mark the reunion, as he said: 'Celebrating a Thursday night 25 years ago... THANK YOU to all the fans out there!! We couldn't have done it without you...
'Big love to the other five #friends #jenniferaniston #courteneycox #lisakudrow #mattleblanc #matthewperry #FRIENDS25 #STILLTHEREFORYOU'.
Jennifer's absence on social media has been widely-discussed in the past and earlier this week, she teased the possibility of joining the site.
She said: '[On social media] you can actually have a little bit more control over the narrative that's out there. [You can] right some wrongs and some silly things that, God knows, are said often. Maybe [I'll join]. You never know.'
Her co-stars meanwhile are all Instagram users and boast legions of devoted followers on the photosharing site and on Twitter.

Jennifer recently spoke about the possibility of a Friends movie, as she sadly said: 'Our producers wouldn't want it, wouldn't let us. Look, it's not been without our desire to, because our fans have wanted it so much...
'It would have been fun. We could have redesigned it for a couple episodes. But whatever. Maybe it's better this way, but we'll never know.'
On re-runs of the show, Jennifer went on: 'It makes you happy. Even when I stumble on it, it makes me happy. I love it and I've also forgotten most of it, so it's really fun for me to rediscover.'
