Instagram glitch feature

This is now changing after the major failure

Instagram disruption feature - changes follow big disaster

After the major Instagram outage a few days ago, the app is now working on a new in-app notification that will inform about glitches and also violations of community guidelines. At the beginning of October, all Facebook services, including Instagram, WhatsApp and everything related to Facebook, were down for several hours. Now the company reacts and wants to give its users more security and also insight into the current app status. To that end, Instagram now published a new blog post in which the company wrote: “We’ll be testing new notifications when certain parts of Instagram aren’t working, because we’re finding that people have a lot of questions. We want to make it easier to understand what’s happening straight from the source… “

The new in-app notification

Instagram writes “straight from the source” as in the last major disruption Twitter was used to inform about the outage with the hashtag #facebookdown. When the Instagram feed doesn’t load or a message isn’t sent on WhatsApp, most users think it’s because of the Internet connection or a brief glitch. A massive Facebook outage is the last thing users think about. This is precisely why the last outage caused a lot of uncertainty. The new in-app notification is intended to create more reliability and transparency for users. Users will now be informed in their activity log in the event of a malfunction. There they should also get more information about the problem, so that the users get more confidence in the app.

So this new feature will help to detect and avoid a shadowban or future problems faster in the future. If there is a mistake on Instagram’s part in an alleged violation, you can appeal.The feature will be available in the settings under Account. As always, features will be added to users only gradually.
