Instagram users are expressing frustration after discovering that older videos are being turned into still images, and archived stories are mysteriously disappearing. Many initially mistook the issue for a technical glitch or slow internet, but the problem has now become widespread.
For years, Instagram has been a digital vault for personal memories, allowing users to store their cherished stories and videos. The unexpected loss of content has left many feeling unsettled, prompting users to urgently back up their posts before more data is lost.
What concerns users further is that Instagram has yet to address the issue or explain when the problem began. The platform’s silence on the matter has only heightened dissatisfaction, leading to doubts about Instagram’s reliability in safeguarding digital memories.
A similar issue occurred in August when a technical error deleted archived stories. Despite claims that the problem was resolved, the current situation has revived concerns about the security of users’ stored content. Many are now rushing to save their memories before more data vanishes.
While Instagram recently introduced new features, including expanded carousel posts and double-stacked Notes, the focus for many users remains on securing their existing content.
