A few days ago, internet users started flocking to Twitter to protest Facebook downtime, and its services Instagram and WhatsApp.
Looking at the traffic from the people protesting the interruption, the company she decided to inform you herself about the holidays in the future. For this, it is testing a feature on Instagram that will show you information about any future technical problems or general problems with the service.
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.
Currently, the company is testing this feature on USA and there is a chance 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 (Account Status). Η νέα λειτουργία θα σας ενημερώνει για αναρτήσεις και περιεχόμενο που σας αναφέρουν. Θα σας ενημερώνει επίσης εάν έχετε παραβιάσει τους conditions of the social network and if your account is at risk of being removed. You can read more about this new tool from here.
