A few days ago, internet users began flocking to Twitter to complain about the downtime of Facebook , Instagram and WhatsApp services.
Looking at the movement of people protesting the holiday, the company decided to inform you about the holiday itself in the future. To do this, try a feature on Instagram that will show you information on any future technical issues or service issues in general.
In addition, the company will notify you when the problem is resolved and everything returns to normal.
Instagram stated that it will not send you a notification for each stop:
We will not send a notice every time there is a break, but when we see that people are confused and looking for answers, we will see if this could help make things clearer.
The company is currently testing this feature in the US and is likely to expand it globally.
I think it's a smart little feature that quickly answers the question "Is it just me or is it Instagram?"
Along with the upcoming notifications, Instagram is also rolling out a new tool called Account Status. The new feature will notify you of posts and content that mention you. It will also let you know if you’ve violated the social network’s terms of service and if your account is at risk of being removed. You can read more about this new tool here.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
