New York: Days after a global WhatsApp outage hit millions of users, similar issues dogged Instagram on Monday.
Instagram users across the world were left bemused faced login error, with many of them getting the message, ‘We suspended your account’.
Both WhatsApp and Instagram are owned by Meta.
“We’re aware that some of you are having issues accessing your Instagram account. We’re looking into it and apologize for the inconvenience,” tweeted Instagram’s Communications team.
Like the other day, thousands of users took to Twitter to complain.
“@instagram what is going on? My account literally got suspended for no reason I did not violate any community guidelines, and when I try to verify the code it’s just giving me a loading error. Is anybody else having this problem,” wrote a user.
That was the theme of most posts, with realtime online outage tracker DownDetector showing a surge in issues reported in the last two hours.
Just as the WhatsApp outage had led to a meme fest on social media, there were funny posts on Instagram on Monday.
