Specifically, Internet users who are victims of this bug have seen the following mention appear we suspended your account on October 31, 2022, you have 30 days to contest this decision“. A page that normally it only concerns users expelled from the social network. Very quickly, the #instagramdown keyword garnered thousands of tweets from around the world.
An international failure, given the numerous tweets published in all languages in the last few hours. There are two different cases: users who simply can’t connect anymore and those who noticed that the number of followers suddenly fell (The accounts of his followers were rightly suspended).
The Instagram outage began Monday morning and has presumably been fixed by now. Reports of this phenomenon seem to indicate the relationship between iPhone owners and suspended accounts. Some even explained that their app had crashed and unusable for a few days, before the last update which fixed the bug.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Instagram account yesterday morning he had still lost 3 million followers. It quickly returned to its 493 million. The same goes for the Instagram account, which had also lost more than a million followers.
