[Investigating] Current update description:
We have received several reports of merchants experiencing issues with direct messages (DMs) not being sent while using Instagram's Social Selling feature. This issue does not affect all clients and has been traced to unexpected responses from the Instagram API. We are currently working with Meta support to find a solution to the problem.
In the meantime, we recommend that all clients using the Instagram Social Selling feature test this functionality ahead of their production shows. Testing can be done through going live for "Close Friends" only.
Who is affected:
Some merchants using Instagram's Social Selling feature
Workaround:
Currently, there is no workaround for this issue other than refraining from using the feature. We recommend that all clients using the Instagram Social Selling feature test this functionality ahead of their production shows. Testing can be done through going live for "Close Friends" only.

[Resolved] Due to ongoing reliability issues with Meta’s API, Bambuser has developed an alternative method for retrieving Instagram comments to ensure the stability of the Social Selling experience. To apply this fix, please reconnect your Meta account in your Bamhub.
