Instagram users complain their accounts mysteriously suspended, Meta working on a fix

Several Instagram users are reporting a strange glitch. According to posts on Twitter, users claim that their account has been mysteriously suspended without any proper warning. It also appears that affected users are unable to retrieve their account despite clicking on the 'Disagree with decision' option. Outage tracker, Downdector, shows that several Instagram users in India and other countries are facing login issues, while others are facing "server connection"-related problems.

Meanwhile, Meta has acknowledged that it is a server-side problem, and the company is looking into the matter. Via a post on Twitter, the company said, "We're aware that some of you are having issues accessing your Instagram account. We're looking into it and apologise for the inconvenience."

Readers must note that not all Instagram users are affected. For instance, only one member of India Today Tech is facing this issue, while others are able to use Instagram services without any problems. Other Meta-owned platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and Messenger are working without any glitches.

Notably, Meta's instant messaging platform, WhatsApp, faced a major outage in India and other countries last week. Due to the outage, the app and the web client were unavailable for nearly two hours. Later, the company clarified that WhatsApp was down due to "configuration changes on the backbone routers".
