IG Story permalink fields used to be in a format that would actually link out to the story.
Ex: https://www.instagram.com/stories/{username}/{id}
As of 7/17 the API is returning them in the shortcode format which is no longer a working link.
Ex: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9nd1hSzKn/
When attempting to navigate to the shortcode link we receive an error page with: "Sorry, this page isn't available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed. Go back to Instagram."
This is consistent across all users.
Is this an intended change? How should we be able to resolve the actual linkable story URL if so?

I'm trying to test the embeded signup process our company wishes to roll out. We have a verified business account which is a tech provider.
So I have created a facebook app which I am using for the embedded signup flow, that is linked to the business account and configured for the embedded signup flow.
The bit I'm really unclear on is how I am supposed to test this, I have been creating a business and verifying a phone number as part of the embedded signup flow, I have been provding some random business name and a URL to a site, not a real legit businesses, just something to allow me to test. I can complete the signup flow, but within a couple of days, that account always gets disabled with message : "Business Manager profile does not have information that we need to determine whether your business complies with WhatsApp's Business Policy."
Surely I don't need a legit business in order to test this, I understand the error and disabling the account due to the information but is there no such thing as creating a test WA business account? really interested to know how have others tested this?
Everything I google seem to talk about test accounts and numbers but these don't seem relevant for testing a number registered via embedded signup.
Thanks

Hi,
I would like to test the Threads API. First, I discovered it was not possible to add the Threads API access to an existing app... so I created a new one with the use case Threads. But 2 apps were created with the same name: one with Threads access and another one without Threads access. For the first one, I am not able to test anything in the Graph Explorer Tool because when I click on "generate access token" I get the error "Facebook Login is currently unavailable for this app, since we are updating additional details for this app. Please try again later." as you can see in the enclosed screenshot.
What can I do to test it please?
Thanks in advance!
