An Instagram bug affecting some users is preventing them from temporarily disabling their accounts, TechCrunch。reports. "Disabling" on Instagram works similarly as on Facebook, meaning that the account will be hidden as though it has been deleted. It temporarily hides all actions by that account including posts, likes, comments and the profile.。

Users have been complaining about the issue on social networks like Twitter and Reddit since February. Several users were redirected to the home page after trying to disable the account. 。
