It appears that service outage is not the only thing Instagramers have to worry about. A couple of days ago, Instagram users started experiencing a weird glitch which caused lines to appear on photos and stories. Affected users took to Twitter and shared samples of the photos which had irregularly spaced lines running across the photos.
We’re aware of an issue making bars appear over some photos. We know this is frustrating and are working to resolve it as quickly as possible.
The reaction to Instagram’s weird glitch generated a mixed response from the affected users who later shared their opinion on Twitter. A majority of them were apparently not pleased by the glitch causing lines to appear on their photos and ruining their posts and stories.
