A new bug has made many Instagram users feel famous

So you thought, in just one day the whole world recognised your importance and went all gaga over your photography skill? Sorry to pop your bubble, but that gush of thousand of followers on your profile was a mirage.

Instagram, a photo-sharing app, reported on July 11 that it was hit by a bug that made users gain followers by hundreds and thousands. Some users panicked and thought the photo app was hacked, but Instagram came forward to clear the air and informed users that it was just a bug and they were working to fix it. Once the bug is fixed, the count of followers will come down to original.
