Instagram had a MAJOR glitch that has lost people THOUSANDS of followers

Have you checked your Instagram recently? Because chances are that you've lost a chunk of followers! Well, a chunk could be anything between half a million, and 11, depending on your following...

Regardless, there's been a huge glitch in the system that is sending influencers into a panic!

James Charles on Twitter

Makeup artist James Charles expressed how he lost 500,000 followers overnight!

And he wasn't alone...

Thankfully, Instagram is aware of the issue.

Instagram on Twitter

"We’re aware of an issue that is causing a change in account follower numbers for some people right now. We’re working to resolve this as quickly as possible."

Instagram on Twitter

"Update: we’re expecting to have this issue resolved by 9 a.m. PST tomorrow. We understand this is frustrating, and our team is hard at work to get things back to normal."

We'll just have to wait and see if Instagram fixed the problem or not. If not, we guess we'll have to give up our booming influencer career SOS.
