What is the Instagram glitch and why are stories repeating?
INSTAGRAM users have been reporting the social media site is suffering from a glitch.
Complaints say stories are repeating even if a viewer has seen them previously.
What is the Instagram glitch?
The bug seems to repeat stories every time a user posts a new one.
Usually, once a viewer has seen a friend’s content that story isn’t shown again when the friend posts some new content.
However, due to the glitch, Instagram is currently showing the old stories again and again, every time there is a new update.
Instagram users have taken to Twitter to air their frustrations.
The bug is causing the Instagram app to not remember where users left off in their friends’ stories, so they start from square one every time they post new content.
It comes at the same time Meta introduced new parental controls for Instagram although it is not known if the two are in any way connected.
Currently, it is not known how many Instagram users have been affected by the issue.
How to fix Instagram glitch
Some users said they were able to fix the problem by deleting the app and reinstalling it.
Although other users claimed this didn’t fix the problem for them.
