Thousands of Instagram users have noticed that their followers have dropped within minutes and this is likely to be because of Instagram suspending a number of accounts.

INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS ARE BEING SUSPENDED 

The social media platform has been having issues this afternoon (31 October). Users have been reporting that they are losing thousands of followers within minutes. 

The reason behind users losing followers is likely to be because the social media platform seems to have suspended many accounts. So, most people’s follower count has been dropping.
