If you’ve been on Instagram today, you might see people taking advantage of a new glitch that lets them post really long Instagram photos. Here’s how the glitch worked and why you’re seeing photos that scroll endlessly on your Instagram feed. Unfortunately, it appears that the glitch was fixed and you’re not going to be able to create your own long photo at this time.

The glitch allowed people to post really long photos to Instagram — photos that appear to scroll forever. Unfortunately, the glitch appears to have now been fixed. Heavy tried creating the glitch and got an error message that read: “Something went wrong. Please try again later.” Others get a server error message or a message telling them that they need a better connection.

The glitch was only spotted on iOS and Android seemed to continue to work just fine, The Verge reported. To get the glitch and post your own long photo, you simply had to create your own very long image, open Instagram, and pick the photo through the app. The app was temporarily not cropping the photos and allowing people to post long pictures. However, if your photo was too long, then it wouldn’t work or it would show up black. Others appeared pixelated.

Some people were able to access the glitch by putting any image into a resizing program like simpleimageresizer.com, making it 30×600 or smaller, and then posting it, one Redditor shared. They could also create the glitch by changing the size of a photo in Photoshop to be 30×600 pixels. Others said it’s easier to just search for super long photos and use one that you find. Others used the “Do You Love the Colour of the Sky” photo and uploaded that long photo.

Unfortunately, none of the methods used to access the glitch appear to work anymore. The glitch has seemingly been fixed and people are getting server errors when they try to post long images and join in on the fun. Others are just seeing a black photo when they try to upload a long photo and access the glitch.

Some people are pretty annoyed that Instagram fixed the glitch so quickly. One person wrote on Reddit: “So you’re telling me Insta is willing to patch this harmless glitch that’s funny and fun to mess with, but WON’T patch mine AND my friend’s DM’s breaking just because we leave a groupchat, and they won’t delete a post with obvious porn or gore, and they won’t give every account new features at the same time, but THIS gets patched almost immediately? Why are the serious issues not being fixed but the small things that are fun to mess with are?”

Here’s what the long photos look like:

We know for some of you the “Threaded Reply Format” isn’t a piece of breaking news. Twitter has been working on testing the feature for quite a few months now and from the initial response, it seems like users are loving the ease it has brought them – in case of reading more of opinions expressed by others on the platform through tweets.

However, the new part is that the company has decided to made subtle changes in the threaded tweet replies layout for more of iOS and web users. Hence, now the same feature will also include a line linking of all the replies a tweet has received.

Carrying on with the announcements that Twitter made back in February, they tweeted about the further additions in the following ways.

For more clarification on the newer version, we are going to look at the app researcher Jane Manchun Wong’s tweet that already had screenshots of the newer version. While the glimpses shared by her are from last month, one can see that when you tap on a reply tweet, a new thread of responses opens up that is attached to that particular comment.

The new tweak also shows replies to the best comments further.

One thing to note here is that these tweets don’t have Like, Retweet or reply icons and according to Twitter the reason behind this move is to hide the engagement tools so that users can easily focus more on the replies.

Looking at the tweaks alone, for sure they don’t appear as very significant ones but there are some definite chances that it would have been very difficult for engineers to pull them off and the impact of it would be seen in later days when people would love to engage into conversations upon reading the associated comments.

As usual, the update will first go through the experimental phase in the Twttr App where a group of selected users will beta test it. Usually, not a lot of features in the testing phase make it to the real Twitter but still, it is encouraging to see Twitter making the effort to push forward the threaded replies.

Besides that to fulfill the major innovation craving of users, Twitter has been working on “Fleets” – the platform’s own Stories format for quite some time now. Although we don’t have many insights to share about that as of now, but looking at all the changes, we can most definitely say the executives of the company are on a swing to make Twitter best from being great soon!

If you’re a YouTube TV subscriber, your channel lineup is about to get a little more robust.

Thanks to the renewal of a deal between ViacomCBS and the live television streaming service, five current channels will continue to be broadcast and 14 more will be added.

Renewed are The CW, Smithsonian Channel, Pop TV, CBS Sports Network and local CBS stations. On the way this summer are BET, CMT, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, TV Land and VH1. Coming a little later are BET Her, MTV Classic, MTV2, Nick Jr., NickToons, and TeenNick.

ViacomCBS premium channels, including Showtime, are renewed as well and will still be available for purchase. 

With over 2 million subscribers at present, YouTube TV is quickly becoming one of the most popular live TV streaming options. It offers a “cable-like” experience with over 70 channels (including almost all local channels) for a fraction of the price with no extra equipment required, so it’s not hard to see the appeal.

As a part of this deal, ViacomCBS content will get larger promotion on YouTube’s platform. If you remember the early days of YouTube, you’re aware of the irony as they were famously on the receiving end of a lawsuit from Viacom over copyrighted content. The fact that the two sides have worked so closely ever since shows not just the growth of YouTube, but it’s an indicator that television companies realize streaming is the future.

MOST USERS ARE REAL, PERCENT RESPONSE 10-15%

BY : EMILY BROWN

An Instagram model believes she loses out on over $1 million per year as she claims her account is the ‘most impersonated’ on the social media site. 

Allison Parker used to work as a waitress, but set up her Instagram account in 2015 and now reportedly rakes in a seven-figure salary by posting pictures to her followers.

The 28-year-old regularly shares snaps showing off her figure, but dozens of other accounts also post similar pictures, with users claiming to be Allison in order to attract victims as part of catfishing schemes, where internet users pose as someone else.

When she first came across a fake account, Allison admitted she was ‘a little flattered’, but the sheer number of fake profiles now ‘drives [her] crazy’.

The model explained:

If you search Allison Parker on Instagram or other social media platforms I’m almost 100% positive that I’m the most impersonated model on it.

They usually just post the same content I post with the same exact captions. Some are catfishing. A lot are selling my content for their own gain.

There is currently no law in the UK prohibiting catfishing, but many campaigners are pushing to make it illegal as people can fall victim to scams involving abuse, fraud or romance.

Allison doesn’t interact with the fake accounts, though she believes her attempts to get rid of them are futile as ‘the reporting mechanism is absolutely no good’.

The fake profiles have left Allison’s fans confused as to which account is real, and as a result the model believes she gets reported ‘more than most of the fakes’.

Allison wants Instagram to verify her account so followers will know which is real, as at the moment she believes the impersonators are benefiting from her content.

She explained:

They have nothing better to do than live a fake life pretending to be me and ripping innocent people off.

I bet if you add up every dollar someone has earned re-selling my content acting as me or catfishing people, I’d have to guess it’s over $1m a year in lost income.

Allison has received comments from people who believe she took their money through catfishing, and she admitted that it can be tough to reassure the people who have fallen for the lies.

While some victims believe her, others ‘swear up and down’ she is responsible.

Though fake accounts make her job more difficult, Allison still has plenty of admirers, some of which have proposed marriage to her and others who claim she is already their wife.

The model has received a few strange requests from fans, one of which involved someone asking: ‘May I purchase a Tupperware of one of your large bowel movements?’

Unsurprisingly, Allison wasn’t so keen on that idea, as she explained:

[I] wasn’t sure if I was supposed to freeze my poop or what but I guess he probably had the info.

I don’t want to be known as the girl who sold out for taking a turd for someone’s obsessive pleasure.

Strange requests aside, Allison said the job allows her to live a ‘laid back lifestyle’, and while she does ‘buy [herself] some nice things’ she tries to save when she can.

She also enjoys ‘interacting with [her] fans and other models’ and ‘working [her] own hours from home and having a lot of freedom’.

For any keen fans who might be looking to romance her, rather than one of the impersonators, Allison advised showing appreciation for her work. Hopefully any interested parties will be able to find the real her!
