Tapping on the Instagram
button on my phone, I proceed to check the likes on my new photo I posted last
night. What I find, is a rather shocking revelation of unaccounted for people
liking my picture. Either my beauty has increased tenfold over the night, or
there is a problem here.
And yes, it was a
problem, bursting the bubble of my ego, I find out that a recent bug in
Instagram caused the number of followers of a person to surge automatically as
well as the number if individual likes on pictures.
After the initial hoax
that Instagram was hacked, it was found out that it was actually a bug which
caused the problem. About this latest issue Instagram had to say that, “some people’s follower counts (as shown on
their profiles) have spiked (incorrectly) due to a bug. We’re fixing the bug
and counts will be made accurate once we’ve got it fixed.”
Some of the users had reports
their follower count increasing by millions all of a sudden, which was leading
to mass confusion.
But thankfully when the
problem will be fixed, the follower count will return to its normal state.
So if your following has
intensified suddenly, trust me it’s the bug, not you.
