Cristiano Ronaldo is the most influential footballer on Instagram but saw his follower count drop by three million during an outage on the social media platform on Monday.
A glitch on the platform saw accounts lose significant number of followers during the outage as numbers plummeted across the site. Ronaldo – who has amassed a remarkable 493million followers on the platform – saw this drop by three million as the bug hit numbers.
The drop in follower counts remains unclear although it is believed that it may have been connected to a bug that caused millions of accounts to be suspended. However, an app update rolled out for Instagram on iOS may have caused the issue.
