INSTAGRAM has been hit by a weird outage suspending droves of users from their accounts.
Reports from confused users surged around 1.30pm UK time.

People flooded Twitter trying to figure out what’s going on.
Screenshots appear to show masses being suspended all at once.
“We suspended your account on 31 October 2022,” the alert shows.
But the flood of messages on other social platforms suggests something wrong may have happened at Instagram HQ.
It’s not clear how widespread the problem is.
But the topic is now trending on Twitter, which usually means quite a lot of people are experiencing the same thing.
However, a quick test by The Sun indicates not everyone has been affected.
“Mark Zuckerberg what hell is this my account in suspended,” one annoyed user wrote.

“Earlier it was crashing every 10-20 seconds and now they have suspended my account for no reason,” another said.
“I cannot even login to my account.”
A third added: “What’s going on with Instagram? Did they get hacked or something?
“Mine says my account is suspended. I guess my pic of the hummus plate I made sent them over the edge.”
A surge in reports was noticed by the Down Detector site at around 1.30pm GMT.
Instagram owner Meta is yet to say what’s behind the issue.
