A couple of days ago, users complained about their feed rearranging and pictures of nature flooding their timeline.They also complained about not being able to upload posts and the app crashing down every time they used a filter lens. Users have continuously complained about the reel feature being glitchy and freezing while recording videos.Issues like this frequently occur when new features are added to the app. Coincidentally, Instagram recently updated one of its key features. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe platform comes with a short duration post called "story." Images and videos uploaded to the stories disappear after 24 hours, making it a great feature to share various updates.The feature previously allowed 30 seconds of watch time, which was recently increased to 60 seconds last week.Meta usually takes a few hours to fix such issues, but they seem to be taking longer than usual this time. Since the platform has an active support system, we can safely assume that the company is already working on the issue.However, there hasn't been any official statement regarding the problem, making it difficult to guess when the issue will be resolved. Users might try to log out and log in from the app, but it's questionable if it would prove to be of any help.At the moment, people can only wait for the bug to get fixed from Instagram's end.
