DownDetector \u2013 which monitors site outages \u2013 says it has found that thousands of users are affected. Some have been shown a message saying that their account has been shut down for 30 days.<\/p>\n

A tweet from the official Instagram Communications account said: \u201cWe\u2019re aware that some of you are having issues accessing your Instagram account. \u201cWe\u2019re looking into it and apologise for the inconvenience.<\/p>\n

\u201d The company has not yet offered any further details on what has caused the unusual issue.<\/p>\n

Some users still able to get on to the platform have reported seeing large drops in their follower numbers as the suspended accounts hit by the issue disappear from the site. Last week, fellow Meta messaging platform WhatsApp suffered an outage which knocked it offline for about two hours.<\/p>\n
