A few days ago, internet users started flocking to Twitter to protest Facebook downtime, and Instagram and WhatsApp services.
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 said it won't send you notice for each interruption:
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 one tool called Account Status (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 and if your account is at risk of being removed. You can read more about this new tool from here.
