Meta Platform Inc said on Sunday that the Meta Platform’s Instagram account has returned to most users, after resolving a technical issue that disrupted services for thousands of people.
“Earlier today, a technical issue caused some people to have trouble accessing Instagram. We resolved the issue as quickly as possible for everyone affected,” a Meta spokesperson told Reuters.
