After several days of ‘on and off’ globally, Instagram is testing a new feature which will notify users of outage of any issues inside the app.
Worldwide outage led Facebook to lose money…A lot of money actually!
In the recent global outage that lasted for 6 hours, Facebook lost $6 billion!
In a recent blog post, Instagram said it has begun testing new alerts that would show up in the users’ Activity Feed with other in-app notifications.The alerts would let users know of specific issues with some app features and widespread problems on the platform.Instead of notifying for every minor issue, Instagram plans to notify only if the issues may cause widespread confusion.
Instagram is testing a new feature currently in the US only.
Instagram will be testing the outage notification system in the US “for the next few months.”The platform hinted at the possibility of a wider rollout for the outage notification system if the initial testing results suggest it worked well.In the same blog post, Instagram touched upon a new “account status” section of the app that would alert users about account-related activities.
Instagram said “account status” would start with notifications about removed posts and when your account “is at risk of being disabled” due to rule violations. It could also help address the Instagram-specific shadow-banning issue.Instagram added that in the coming months, “account status” will let people know “how their content is being distributed and recommended across different parts of Instagram.”
