People using Instagram on Apple devices have complained that their being forced to rewatch old Instagram Stories just so they can see new ones.
Frustrated users have taken to other forms of social media to complain.
One person wrote on Twitter: “My Instagram stories is gaslighting me by showing me other people’s stories over and over again as if they are brand new.”
Another added: “Does anyone else experiencing bugs or glitches on Instagram stories??
“Like they keep on displaying the stories that i already watched every time my following updated new content? It is getting annoying for me”.
The problem has been affecting people for over 24 hours.
One Reddit user wrote yesterday: “Does anyone else have this issue where someone posts a new story and you click on it to watch it and it sends you back to the very first story they posted and not the new one? lol it’s annoying i hope it gets fixed soon”.
The good news is, Instagram is said to be aware of the problem and there is now thought to be a fix.
