Facebook, along with all of its services, including WhatsApp and Instagram, suffered from a massive outage last week, and businesses worldwide, including our communication at Wccftech, went down for a good few hours. Following the incident, Instagram has started testing a feature that will alert the users of outages and technical issues. The feature will push notifications in the Activity Feed every time Instagram goes through a technical issue and another one when the company finally fixes the issue.

In a recent blog post, Instagram has highlighted that it has already started testing the new feature in the U.S., and it plans to continue to test for the next few months. While it is not currently planning to expand the feature to the rest of the regions, it probably will roll out widely in the future.
