If you logged into Instagram more than the weekend, you could have noted a precipitous drop in your following count in the app.
Yeah, losing five million followers (as per this instance from @tank.sinatra) would be tough to take, and would absolutely have you questioning what you possibly could have stated incorrect to spark a mass cancelation.
Do not be concerned, it is not you. As confirmed by Instagram chief Adam Mosseri, there was a technical concern, which the group has now rectified in the back finish of the app.
The IG group supplied this explanation to SMT:
“A technical concern resulted in Instagram accounts seeing an inaccurate loss of followers in their Account Insights, but total follower counts on profiles have been not impacted. The concern has because been resolved, and follower metrics in Account Insights are now correct.”
So if you have been impacted, it really should be fine now, or it really should be updated properly at subsequent refresh.
So no, you didn’t drop your entire IG audience, no you weren’t hacked, and no, your content material hasn’t taken a nosedive of late.
It was a technical concern. Just breathe.
