INSTAGRAM OUTAGE. A bug affects many users on the Instagram social network. An error message is displayed for many of them. Here’s what we know about this Instagram bug.
[Mis à jour le 31 octobre à 20h35] In the middle of the Halloween party, it’s a blow for Instagram users who want to show their subscribers their disguises. Indeed, a major bug affects the social network this Monday, October 31, 2022. Many users have thus seen their account suspended, for no apparent reason, by the administration of Instagram. Some of them have shared their amazement on other social networks, while particularly well-known users are worried that their number of subscribers will decrease. “We are aware that some of you are having problems accessing your Instagram account. We are studying the situation and we apologize for the inconvenience caused,” said the management of the social network specializing in image sharing.
Instagram bug is global
The Down Detector site, which references web outages, also reports numerous user reports. If France is affected, there are also European and American users complaining about this bug which does not affect all users, on computers as well as on the Android and iOS mobile application for iPhone. No solution has been provided for the time being except that Instagram having recognized an ongoing problem, we imagine the American group doing everything to solve it quickly… So be patient!
This bug affects a Meta group site, a few days after a global outage of another group service, WhatsApp messaging. Meta, which also owns Facebook, had recognized a breakdown of Whatsapp, which became inaccessible for a few hours on Tuesday, October 24, 2022.
What to do with Instagram’s blackout?
If your account is affected by the Instagram bug, there’s nothing you can do but…wait. Indeed, as it is an internal failure of the social network, it is not necessary to embark on a complaint procedure to recover your account. Just wait a bit before you can watch a story again or like photos.
