Instagram Users Have a Meltdown Over Recent Outage

Millions have their accounts suspended and are losing followers.

If you woke up to find your Instagram account suspended or your follower count plummeting — don’t worry, you’re still cool.

Instagram is experiencing a technological glitch this Monday as many attempting to log into their favorite social media app to discover their accounts have been temporarily disabled. The outage is also causing many, even celebrities like Christiano Ronaldo, to see droves of followers leaving as CEO Adam Mosseri sorts things out.

The platform took to Twitter earlier to calm its users writing, “We’re aware that some of you are having issues accessing your Instagram account. We’re looking into it and apologize for the inconvenience.”

If it’s any solace Instagram lost over a million followers on its own account due to the glitch.

Stay tuned for updates.
