Instagram, a major social media platform owned by Meta, updated users after issues relating to sudden account suspensions plagued the site today.
The popular image-based site took to social media to assure users, many of whom have had their accounts suspended, that the issues were being 'looked into'.
In a Tweet, the platform's comms department said: "We're aware that some of you are having issues accessing your Instagram account. We're looking into it and apologize for the inconvenience. #instagramdown."
