“Due to a technical problem, this story no longer exists,” users of the social network were able to read when consulting their old stories. The message states that the problem has been solved, but the elements cannot be repaired.
“We are not able to bring them back”
“We found and fixed a bug that caused some people’s Stories and Archives to be deleted. Unfortunately, we are not able to restore them and we inform users in the application if they are affected,” said a spokesperson for Meta, the owner of Instagram, quoted by American media.
The company has not disclosed the number of affected users and only those affected may see a message informing them of the deletion of their archives. The post will remain open until July 2025.
Unlike traditional photos, Stories can be enhanced with gifs, music, text or features such as the ability to embed a vote, making them unique to users.
They are not automatically saved to the device’s camera roll unless the save setting is enabled. This technical problem reminds us of the importance of saving the most important files on the server or hard drives, outside the application. And this, regardless of the reliability of the company.
