As it is known, one of the biggest digital collapses in the world took place last week. All of Facebook’s services such as WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, which are connected to Facebook, have collapsed. Thereupon, users flocked to various competing social media platforms, especially Twitter, to try to understand what was happening on the platforms. Now, there has been a new development on this subject.
Sharing a post from its official blog page, Instagram announced that it has developed a new feature. This feature will notify users when a service outage begins. In this way, Instagram will prevent users who want to understand the situation from flocking to Twitter. The new feature of the platform will be located in the Movements page.
Notifications announcing that Instagram has crashed will look like this
According to the statements made by Instagram, the new feature will not work in small-scale interruptions. When all users will start to be affected by these interruptions and chaos will occur, that’s when the notification in question will be seen. The company will present the feature it is developing to users first in the USA and then all over the world in a few months.
Instagram will let users know if their accounts are at risk of being shut down
Instagram talked about another feature in the same blog post. This feature is an innovation called “Account Status” that allows users to have information about their accounts. Thanks to this feature, users will be able to see which posts have been removed and whether they are at risk of being closed as a result. It is currently unknown when the feature will be available.
