WhatsApp failed last week and today it seems that Instagram’s turn has come. Thousands of people have reported that the Meta app has suspended their profiles without any justification.
As reported by affected users on Twitter, today they have received a notification from Instagram in which it said “we suspended your account on October 31, 2022”. Along with the message, the platform warns that they have 30 days to object to the account suspension.
