If you saw Facebook posts of random people that are tagging Ranveer Singh, Ronaldo, or others, you’re not alone.

Facebook experienced another bizarre bug where user feeds with endless posts from celebrity accounts. People who logged onto Facebook Wednesday evening saw a flood of posts from strangers, which had been originally posted on the pages of celebrities.

Downdetector, a service where people can log problems and outages with websites, had thousands of reports of issues with Facebook, with 81% of complaints related to the Feed.

Writing on Twitter, Meta spokesperson Alexandru Voica blamed an unspecified “configuration change” for the problem, and said it had since been resolved. 

Meta Group’s other social media platform Instagram seems to be having no issues with its newsfeed, which suggests that the glitch is limited to only Facebook.
