Instagram Tests a Feature to Notify Users in Case of an Outage

Furthermore, the company said that in the initial phase, the test will only run in the United States and will go on for a few months. On October 4, a long outage halted the company’s 3.5 billion users from accessing its social media and messaging services, which include WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger. In addition to that, the company is also planning to launch a feature that will let people know whether their social media account is at risk of being disabled. Regarding the new feature, Instagram said that it will notify users in their Activity Feeds when the company is facing outages or any sort of technical issues. Another notification will come when the issue would be fixed. However, the company has also mentioned that it won’t be issuing notifications every time an outage occurs, but it’ll consider sending one “when it sees that people are confused and looking for answers.” Check out? Consumers Can Now Shop From Telemart on Installments Via QisstPay
