Instagram’s new anthem.:

“Scroll, scroll, scroll your feed… while you sit and snack,

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily… till you see them drag.”

Did you just sing it?

Apparently, there’s a new glitch on Instagram that makes your photos appear extra long and if you thought there’s something with your phone, you can calm down because that's not the case!

Reported to have only worked on iOS, people started to notice it on Wednesday. Instagram has since fixed the issue, but many people now say that they get a server error when they attempt to post vertical images. Here’s an example of what it looks like.

A spokesperson for Facebook said that they are well aware of the bug and are working on fixing the issue as soon as possible, but the issue is already taking a ‘troll’ on Twitter users.
