Josh Constine says, “No, your last selfie didn’t win you hundreds or thousands of new followers. Instagram confirmed to me today that a bug has caused some users’ follower counts to increase, but that this was a bug that’s being fixed. That increase in people’s follower count will disappear once the bug is completely fixed.

Earlier today, a manager that works with big social media stars tipped me off that some of them had suddenly gained hundreds, thousands, and for the biggest stars like King Bach, as many as 100,00 new followers. A search on Twitter showed many users with smaller followings also saw an instant increase over the last day or so. Some were confused about whether those were real people who followed them or if Instagram was hacked“.

Sorry, A Bug Gave You More Instagram Followers And They’ll Disappear
