Instagram users were left stunned after receiving a notification from the app on Wednesday, informing them that certain photos from their Stories archives had been permanently deleted and were unable to be recovered. The notification displayed a message stating, 'This story is no longer available,' due to a technical issue that affected a number of users.
Meta, the parent company of Instagram, confirmed the bug but did not disclose the exact number of users impacted. Only those whose Stories were lost received the notice explaining that the issue had been resolved but their content could not be restored.
