Instagram photos encounter a weird issue but Instagammers seem to be loving it

A weird glitch has hit Facebook-owned popular photo-sharing app Instagram. But in a surprising move, Instagrammers are not angry about it. On Thursday, users started to notice some random bars appearing on photos. Some users felt that it was a form of an artistic expression. But Instagram later clarified that it was indeed just a glitch. Here is what Instagram had to say:

“We're aware of an issue making bars appear over some photos. We know this is frustrating and are working to resolve it as quickly as possible.”

While there were a few tweets venting their frustration over the glitch, most of the users took it sportively and joked about it. One Twitter user asked if the Instagram glitch can be kept forever! Many users treated the glitch like a new filter as it ended up giving their posts a somewhat kitschy look.
