It is also suggested that Instagram users, especially content creators lost followers. Even I saw a sudden drop in my follower count. Beebom’s Instagram account also saw similar behavior with a loss of over 1,00,000 followers. But that came back to the normal number in a few hours.

However, there’s nothing to worry about. Instagram has acknowledged the outage via a recent tweet. As a follow-up to the tweet, theMeta-owned social media platform has also confirmed that it has resolvedthe outage and is sorry for the inconvenience caused.We’ve resolved this bug now – it was causing people in different parts of the world to have issues accessing their accounts and caused a temporary change for some in number of followers.
