Jennifer Aniston has responded after “breaking” Instagram with a photograph of her and her Friends co-stars.

The 50-year-old actor joined the platform on Tuesday and within hours after her first post, a selfie that featured Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry, Instagram reported it was experiencing technical difficulties.

The post proved so popular that some users could not access Aniston’s profile and follow her.

Shortly after the post, Guinness World Records announced that Aniston had set a new record for being the fastest Instagram account to reach one million followers, which she accrued in five hours and 16 minutes.

Now, Aniston has done a second post in which she thanked her new followers.

On Wednesday, the actor shared a clip from her new Apple TV+ series, The Morning Show, in which her character smashes her phone against the table.

In a caption below the clip, Aniston wrote: "I swear I didn't mean to break it... Thank you guys for the kind, glitchy welcome."

Aniston currently has 11.3 million followers.

The actor follows just 121 people herself, including Michelle Obama and Leonardo DiCaprio.
