This narrative is no longer accessible: Instagram permanently erases certain images.


 Instagram users were shocked to discover that some photos from their Story archives were deleted forever. These images cannot be retrieved.

(Nixinfos.com) - "This story is no longer accessible," some users observed on specific Stories. "Due to a technical glitch, this story is no longer available. Although we have resolved this issue, it is not possible to restore your story."

Meta, who owns Instagram, did not say how many users were affected. Only people who lost their stories will see this message.

"We identified and fixed a glitch that led to the deletion of some individuals' Story Highlights and archives. Meta spokesperson said on Wednesday that they cannot restore the Stories and are notifying affected users through the app.

Meta has announced that the error message screen will be removed by July 2025.

Instagram Stories offer a more laid-back, less permanent way to share content. Users can post photos, videos, or text that disappears after 24 hours. More special content can be placed on a curated Close Friends list or permanently appear on your profile as a story highlight.

Stories are unique because they include personalized elements such as music, gifs, text, and filters. They also have interactive features like polls. Regular photos do not have these elements. Users often see their Story Archives as a photo diary, including memes, Spotify screenshots, and poolside photos from vacations. It's a way to share their music tastes and travel memories. Instagram shows old stories from past years in the archives tab, called "memories," reminding users of past activities. Additionally, some users use their Story Archives to save pictures and videos.

Instagram does not save stories to your phone unless you turn on a setting. Instead, they are saved to Story Archives, which is what the bug affected along with Story Highlights.

This issue highlights the importance of not relying solely on an app for media backups. To protect important memories, save copies of photos, videos, and other media outside of the app. It's important to do this even if the app is reliable. This will ensure that your special memories are safe and secure. Keeping backups of your media is a good practice to prevent any potential loss.

Putin threatens that if Ukraine's long-

Putin  threatens  that  if  Ukraine's  long-range  missile  limits  are  eased,  Russia  will  be  "at  war"  with  NATO. Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, has issued a warning, stating that Moscow will interpret NATO's approval of Ukraine's use of longer-range missiles to attack within his nation as the bloc's direct involvement in the conflict. Putin's remarks coincide with the notion that, more than two years after Russia's invasion, the US and Western officials are more amenable to the prospect of removing limitations on Ukraine's use of US-supplied long-range weaponry, something Kyiv has vocally advocated for. Putin said to reporters on Thursday that "this will indicate that NATO countries—the United States and European countries—are at war with Russia." If this is the case, we will respond appropriately to the threats posed to us, keeping in mind the shift in the conflict's fundamental nature. U...

Telegram - CEO's arrest.

  Telegram will now provide law authorities with some bad actor info following the CEO's arrest. Telegram, a messaging app, has made some additional safety and user privacy concessions following the arrest of CEO and founder Pavel Durov in France last month. French prosecutors detained and questioned Durov over alleged illegal behaviour on the platform, including trafficking and gang activity, as well as the company's purported refusal to turn over investigation-related data. Later, after the investigation was completed, he was freed from police custody with a $5.56 million bail. The probe spurred discussion about online criminal conduct and free speech, but the authorities' worries were not entirely unexpected. Thanks in significant part to encryption technology and assurances of user privacy, the app has gathered over 950 million users over the years. After being apprehended, Telegram declared that Durov had "nothing to conceal" and found it "ridiculous...
