oEmbed – Not working for Facebook/Instagram?

Hi,

I was alerted to the fact that a number of embeds were failing on a site that I work on, which uses ACF Pro oEmbed field. It has been working fine up until now.

With a quick google I found this: https://yoast.com/facebook-instagram-embeds-broken/

The embeds no longer “unfurl” in wp-admin – for example this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/CCKGrMLgObk/

Wondering if there is a recommended approach for fixing this for ACF Pro? The sites in question probably have hundreds of instances of using an oEmbed field with either an instagram or facebook url.

Thanks,
Pete
