   We’re currently experiencing an issue publishing video posts to Instagram and Threads due to a problem with Meta’s API. Posts with images or no media should continue to publish as normal. We’re working to resolve this as quickly as possible and will continue to share updates here. We sincerely apologise for the disruption.
