Worst app ever! Can’t unfollow people who don’t follow me but the application allows you to unfollow if someone is following you back. I can only see posts from ads, suggested posts which I’m not interested in and content from those who don’t follow back but won’t show me posts from those who follow me. Manipulation at its best, hats off.

App is extremely buggy. It deleted my post drafts without any intervention out of the blue. It suddenly tries to block me from doing things without any explanation - ok, I KNOW that I unfollowed number of inactive accounts, but I why block commenting??? And why block LOOKING at comments on my own posts? It is extremely frustrating, because I probably make things worse trying to do things just to see if they are working. Please, FIX as clearly somthing somwhere gone wrong.

Edit: it’s getting worse. It now crashes on posting, it does not save the post. If you make a nice write up, COPY AND PASTE IT INTO ANOTHE APP before you POST IT!!!

The fact that their force feeding us to see posts of people we do not follow is absurd. We already have the explore tab and they have now limited the posts we see of people we follow extremely by filling our feeds with explore posts.

Significant decline

–

Starbuckgirl#1

2023-12-11

Version 310.0.0

Of late Instagram has significantly declined in its functionality as a social media platform. For one algorithmic bias seems to be at an all time high, only pushing certain content and topic and either shadow banning or restricting the reach of any content that they do not personally align with. If that isn’t bad enough, the appeals process is absolutely pointless and half the time isn’t even available.

Another weird thing I’ve noticed is that activity and commenting is inconsistently restricted and limited at times for no clear reason and with no way to appeal (comments are severely restricted even when not violating any policy - no spam in sharing posts, no spamming in comments, no bullying or harassment, no hate speach but “instagram limits certain activities…think we made a mistake?” But the button to report this as a mistake doesn’t work). For example: this morning I entered a competition from a local account for a local tv show who have multiple festive completions currents running daily. This is common particularly during holiday periods and something I have done frequently over the years. I enter 2 competitions, each requiring 1 comment stating what you love about the sponsored product however I cannot comment because I get said error message.

Great App that Can Be Improved

2023-11-18

Version 309.1.1

Instagram is a great app but there’s still room for improvement. You need to get better at taking down photos that show nudity, let us add music to old posts, and deal with the general toxicity to make the app friended for younger users.

These 3 changes would make Instagram a significantly better app. Until then, it’ll just be another toxic app with little to offer its users aside from thirst trap photos, and negative comments. I’m sure with all the money you’ve got you can do better than this so stop letting your users down.

music errors

2023-09-22

Version 301.1

For over 2 weeks now the music feature for stories has not been working. Songs are “currently unavailable” when I view other people’s stories, and when I search for music for my own story there are no results for anything I search for aside from the recommendations page. Notifications are not regular: there are multiple accounts that I have alerts on for and I only occasionally receive notifications for story updates, almost never for new posts despite alerts being on and these pages being added to my favourites. I update the app regularly, but this has been going on for months now. I have also logged several reports and online forums have shown that this is not an isolated issue.

Crashing and random redirection

2023-09-04

Version 298.0

At first the app was running smoothly and I had never encountered any issues until I swiped to the last slide of a carousel advertisement post by shein…the app would randomly redirect me to the App Store to download the Shein app. A few minutes ago I tried scheduling a post, it literally gave me that option until I decided to edit some parts of the post and connect it to my Facebook page to later come back and find that it no longer allows me to schedule a post. So I tried force closing the app, I restarted my device, I updated the app, I even uninstalled and reinstalled the app but still it is not allowing me to schedule the post and worse, it is refusing to open now. It shuts down every single time I try to run it. Completely irritated with the experience!!!

Version 297.0

Every time that i open the app, music starts playing and i don't even know from where. I have to close the app about 3 times before the random music stops. It also then goes onto other applications. I don’t want to hearing music from a reel I didn't watch nor do i want to text people with the same 10 second snippet of a reel thats glitching. I personally dislike “suggested posts” because i don't want to see what I'm not following hence the explore page is there for a reason. Another thing I absolutely cannot stand on this platform is bot accounts tagging me in scam posts, about 10 bot accounts of the same scam tag me in posts with others I do not know. Its really annoying because it blocks up my notifications. I extremely dislike the feature of “you might know them” no I don't care and if i wanted to follow them I would have. Its annoying as a notification and its annoying because its on accounts I barely use, stop using notification fillers to get traffic onto the app. Irrelevant notifications are a waste of time and are extremely annoying. Please fix this

My account was falsely disabled

2023-08-23

Version 297.0

Somehow Instagram believes that watching K-pop content on the explore tab on my account violates their community guidelines (this is what I was doing when I got the pop-up message). I instantly opted for an appeal to review my account and within 1 hour I received an email stating that my account is now permanently disabled and I cannot request another review. I’m truly baffled as they did not communicate their reasons and I read through their community guidelines.

I’m currently having a mental breakdown over this because my account literally documents 6-7 years of my life and to lose all of this without proper reasoning is heartbreaking. I truly believe that this was a technical/human error and needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

Poor communication & lack of assistance.

Version 289.1

Very disappointed in the service. I had grown a page with 12k followers over the last 2 years and mistakenly posted a photo on my page which was copyrighted. Instagram failed to give me a warning and remove the post, instead they deactivated my whole account and gave me 30 days to appeal. After appealing on multiple occasions, they didn’t even have the decency to reply to my messages with feedback. I just find it extremely concerning how one person can have the power to destroy another individual’s entire livelihood… my entire business / income was dependent on that page and it was all taken away from me in the blink of an eye.

I would really appreciate it if someone from the Instagram team could assist me with this matter as it was a genuine mistake from my end and I feel the matter was truly blown out of proportion…

Version 288.0

The thinking icon in chats is a great addition to refresh instagram , it’s cool to explore my followers music and to share my music as well, however it would be a better feature if users can see who viewed or played there music. Instagram should include slideshow picture posts with music like tiktok. Promote content of smaller businesses so that growth can be easier. Instagram needs to fix the algorithm and make it not as strict. A lot of smaller accounts do not enjoy Instagram because they do not see any engagement on there posts or likes and this is what makes instagram not as fun as what it used to be. More engagement and promotion will generate new users. Lastly.. bring back delete message option, the most useless and unnecessary update more like a downgrade.

Please work on this

I love instagram. Never had a problem with it until recently. First of all, work on helping people recover their instagram accounts after it’s been hacked, I’m sure you can see that it had a different owner before it suddenly changed. And second of all, I love some of the new updates but I’d love it even more if you let it be on all accounts and not just one account because I have 3 accounts. And please bring back the continue scrolling feature if you suggest reels, this is like the second time you take it away, when I watch the one and I scroll I want to see the next one not click the back button and then have to click the second suggested one. Thank you

Version 280.0

Instagram needs to change its focus market. It’s all about celebrities and nonsense when there are REAL businesses on here trying to make a living. My instagram profile has 3000k followers yet I only get 100 views on my AWESOME content, that is not even 1% of my followers!! I DONT want more followers, I just want my current followers (hard earned and so much spent on advertisement) to see my stuff. Instagram has become a money making platform. Not a platform that supports its users!! The system is overwhelmed and continuously glitches where video or sound don’t play , or they are not synchronised. Maybe a server upgrade is needed or reduced quality to a manageable processing level. Instagram is focused on Gen Z content (leave that to TikTok) and it’s shadowing the original millennial users to were the first to use the platform. Also there are other countries who are trying to get their content out there. Not only Americans. Why is there a weight in their favour? Why do smaller countries not grow within themselves. It’s all about America. Allow us to show content to our own countries. It’s on a slow rollercoaster downward. So sad because I actually love the platform.

Version 259.0

Generally I really like instagram but I removed the app from my phone a few days ago then today I went to download and relogin. When I logged in it popped up with a message saying my account has been disabled when to the best of my knowledge I haven’t violated any guidelines or anything. I then go through the steps to disagree with the decision and the last page is just a blank loading page that doesn’t ever load to anything? So now I don’t know if the request is going to go through or if I’m losing my account. Then try to find more information on your help site since now I can’t do anything in the app but it just tells me to go back to the app and follow the steps. Is there a way to actually speak to a human to sort this out? I am going to be severely enraged if I’ve lost my account because of this

Instagram was amazing , it’s now just a platform for paid adverts. I never see anything that I’ve actually chosen to follow and see what my friends are up to and support them. Every second post is sponsored advert or a suggestion of who I should follow.

Make this a paid app so we can get back to what we actually started with cause I’m about to get rid of this app.

I have to go search my friends accounts now to see if I haven’t missed anything they’ve posted which I have because I scroll for a 30 seconds and I’m already frustrated with the crap that is being advertised.

I also hate the new version of scrolling , stop trying to be like TikTok and just be Instagram.

The app is being ruined by all the updates that keep happening

Version 244.0

I am complaining about how instagram is being changed into a prominently video orientated app, and how it is ruining it. I did not update my app purely because of the new update which causes the home page to become almost reel like, where you see barely any of your actual followings posts.

You are going to lose customers by doing this because instagram used to have an equal balance of photos and videos and was mostly used by photos, even by marketing companies.

Instagram used to be unique but now it’s become so similar to tiktok, but worse because of how hard it is to function on it.

You should consider changing it to how it was before the update because of how frustrated people are getting.

why ?

I’ve never had any complaints regarding instagram but the past 3 hours , i haven’t been able to use the app without an annoying and unnecessary alert that pops up on the screen. stating Instagram limits the amount of something to protect the community. how is looking at my comment section affecting the community ? I can’t even scroll on the app without the alert coming up and i’ve reported it 100 times.

i can’t look at comments on my post or do anything because the alert pops up every second.

Please can someone seriously sort out retrievals of hacked personal accounts!!!!!! My account was hacked in Dec 2021 and after numerous attempts to retrieve it, and reporting this to you multiple times, I am still sitting here with my account (which I rely on heavily for work) in some bot or human hackers hands. This hacker changed my email address associated with my account which has made the retrieval process impossible for your “system” to handle - please fix/simply/provide HUMAN support for this!!! Your phone number, email address and hELp CeNtER are all useless, outdated and unhelpful. To date, this hacker continues to harass my friends, colleagues and followers through my account in an attempt to scam them. Due to this, I feel my reputation as a professional has been severely affected. I can’t even get help from you guys to delete my account!!! This is so bad, I wanna give you a 0. But that’s not possible so I give you a 1!

Help centre malfunction

2021-10-26

I’ve been in a form of account purgatory for the past 4 weeks. Even though I can log into my account I still get the same notification of verification because my account was “compromised” and my verifications keep sending broken links that just send me back into my account for broken verification. I’ve been restricted from everything and I know I haven’t been hacked because my credentials haven’t changed.

I’ve submitted a multitude of appeals for my account and nothing. I thought I’d only be suspended / banned for 24 hours to a week but it’s been a month and there’s no sign of hope at this point. I’m not about to start up a new profile without being able to disable my current one. People can still view and like my posts but I just don’t have access.

I don’t know what else I have to do besides submit more appeal forms because this help centre is a load of garbage when it comes to reinstating a users account for false fraudulent behaviour.

I haven’t been able to access my account for 4 weeks, so I haven’t been able to talk to any friends or family from the app and it’s not like my account is disabled because other people can still see it and find it.

Help? Actually do your job?

Instagram is a great app but they have been so slow in rolling out auto-generated captions in stories, therefore we have inconsistent experiences with the app. Knowing there’s such a feature in some locations makes and when you have followers across the world and they are used to captions for stories. Also writing your own captions in Stories is time consuming and defeats the purpose of stories for sharing on the go. It’s frustrating that we excluding a whole lot of people, please roll out this feature everywhere. I’m in South Africa but this feature is important for everyone.

For a while now I haven’t been able to share funny or interesting posts of others to my story. I used to do this and enjoyed it. There was a time when it took me to my emoji section with a create tab and I could still do it, then that disappeared as well and I thought insta had taken away this functionality! But I see other people doing it and I still can’t. I researched others are having this problem as well. Some said delete the app and restore. I did still didn’t work. Went to settings / privacy / stories - turned my sharing stories settings on and off, still didn’t work. Your help Centre has nothing on this please help me. I love the app but this makes it incredibly boring and pretty useless to me! If it’s fixed will def change my rating! But whatever you have done to the app, is not working for me! Thanks

Preparing videos for posting

2021-09-13

I really love IG. And I’d never to give a review until now to express how I really feel about it. I’ve never been a content creator but sharing my pictures with the world and sharing my life was pretty enticing to not be on such a platform and from its inception everything has been great. Well everything might be a bit exaggerated. Because for the longest time Instagram has had the worst pet peeve of all social media apps: and that’s the video editing as you prepare to upload/post your content. For instance the stories posting function is the worst to use. You can’t seem to pin point exactly where you want to trim. And this is time consuming for someone if they have to figure it out for hours or spend time editing in the native video editor. Granted it gets the job done. But if we’re being honest, efficiency is the currency of all digital consumption. And not being able to edit exclusively in the stories panel (amongst others) is not efficient in any way. And it’s annoying.

I’m learning to appreciate the app as a musician would an instrument. For creators, its unparalleled in terms of functional design. Not only that, there’s an opportunity to market, network, monetise content. Business owners be warned, you’re losing sales because you aren’t on Instagram. Facebook likes have less value than an equivalent interaction in Instagram. It’s not too late to jump on board! Forget the website, create an Instagram profile first. It’s continuously improved with advanced social analytics directly influencing the way in which a social network organically grows and integrates into reality. It’s less clunky than Snapchat while offering similar messaging functionality to WhatsApp. If you have to use one-app, Instagram should be your first choice. Congratulations if you’re reading this review, it means you’re about to create something and release it into the social stream, hopefully it’s something positive and gentle.

Happy creating 🌱

It has now been three days since I can log into my Instagram account. The account email address and phone number are no longer in use. The email address at which my verification link is going too was created by INSTAGRAM themselves so I don’t know this email address. The phone number is a very old number of mine which is no longer part of a registered network. I have no exhausted my energy trying to freaken get a simple response from your team. I have submitted countless biometric videos to prove I’m a “human-being” surely you should reach out to your community to help us in some sort of way? I have had this account for almost 5 years and it’s grown my business entity tremendously, now I have to lose this account completely!? Is this a joke? Please please reach out to us!

I’ve only had one account ever since instagram was launched 5 plus years ago.

A few days ago I noticed that my notifications were not loading. As i go into the heart emoji to see who requested to follow or likes it tells me to refresh. With doing that nothing happens. It’s 6 days now since this problem has begun.

I updated the app as well as deleting it and reinstalling and still no success.

I also reported the problem with instagram numerous times.

Can someone advise me what should i do more than what I’ve tried doing.

Music/Following

I have been having issues with my Instagram where if I am trying to follow an account immediately when I refresh the page my account automatically unfollows the account I’m interested in. Not only that, whenever I try to share a story the option to share a story on my stories the option to my account has stopped appearing. Lastly I am a music person, I longer can’t choose music for my stories. All the time I search for a reputable artist like ‘Erykah Badu’ it says search not found. All the music I search for cannot be found and this never use to happen. It’s really frustrating because I have content to share that needs music.

Please recognize this review and fix my account. I need my music more than anything. 😓

What used to be a fun, easy app to use has become very niche. If I had not been an Instagram user for years, I would not know how to use it and give up like I did with Facebook. The Instagram company is trying to incorporate businesses more so that they can profit in future by giving the person who pays most the top slot on what used to be the activity page. This is a psychological game because that page is associated with the joy when you get a like or a new follower and now when you instinctively tap it hoping to see someone comment on a picture you have posted, you see something to buy instead. You buy it hoping for the same happiness but instead you have less money and Instagram has more. The only advantage this page will have is to promote small business but they will get pushed to the side if the highest bidder gets the top spot. And not to mention the ads and the hidden posting icon. IT’S A PHOTO SHARING APP. Please change it back and monitor how many ads each user can see otherwise you will drive away your current users. I genuinely love the app but I don’t think it deserves better with how it’s going.

Re-arrangement of the layout.

Instagram is Instagram. Overall a very normal social media app which I (like many others) have been using for years. Most recently, the update of replacing the “activity” section with the “shop” section feels unnecessary, especially for a platform where sharing pictures of your daily life is the most common.

E-commerce is a large feature of Instagram and many small businesses operate primarily on Instagram, however, I felt the need to comment on this layout. Facebook, Instagram’s parent company is beyond wealthy and there is no need to attempt to shove more e-commerce and spending down the throats of unsuspecting Instagram users.

Overall, however, it’s great. Default ads aren’t too prevalent and are integrated into the feed well. Generally user friendly and easy to navigate.

Instagram is no fun anymore

I used to really love Instagram. It was a fun app to post photos and see your friends and family photos. However, it is no longer about user experience. First they brought in the terrible algorithm which actually causes you to miss out on a lot of posts as your feed is no longer chronological. Then stories were added (a shameless rip off of Snapchat). And now reels (another shameless rip off, this time it’s Tik Tok). And they’ve replaced the notification button with a shopping button. No one uses Instagram for shopping! If you now search a hashtag, it is divided into popular and recent. I almost missed the recent tab which means if you don’t have a lot of followers that already like your photos your post will not show up in the popular tab. So a lot of people will miss your post with the hashtag used. I could deal with ads on my timeline but the rest of the updates have killed the charm the app once had. Instagram is obviously all about maximizing profit before user enjoyment. This is really shameless given that this is a company estimated to be worth more than $100 billion already. Bye Instagram.

my problem with the issue of Instagram blocking accounts

2020-08-20

You guys blocked me for absolutely no reason. You firstly logged me out of my account for no reason and when I tried to get back in you wouldn’t let me. Once I was in, you blocked me from liking and commenting AND EVEN POSTING for a whole week?! Like seriously?!?! I get you’re taking safety measures but in this case, y’all are the ones that blocked me and kicked me out for no reason. I did nothing wrong. Anyways please unblock me fr this ain’t funny. I can’t like people’s posts and hype them up, I can’t even post myself and the kind of page I have, I have to always stay relevant by posting so I’m asking for you to unblock me like NOW seriously.

Anyways the app is okay:|

I’m constantly writting emails to Instagram , my account was temporarily blocked for according to the error message sharing my losing with a service that helps gain followers , imagine my shock when I got that error message however when I check on the help I have not shared any login details with third parties it’s the 16th today and I’m still getting the same error message that says my account is temporarily blocked and the action will expire on the 15th . I’ve invested so much into that account , I pay for ads etc and yet no response from Instagram 😭 I’m at my wits end as it’s my business acc. INTAGRAM your response rate to such issues is horrible, this time you are the bully. According to your data I have not shared my info with third parties yet I still get the same error message even when that temp block is supposed to be expired

What’s up with all the suggested posts. I didn’t follow them and I don’t understand why my home page should be filled with videos from people or pages that I ain’t even planning on following. Especially if I’d never liked anything from them in the first place.

You already have the search area to put all that and I really don’t understand why you had to put those in both home and search sections. Chill with those.

I Want to view the posts from the pages I followed, Cause that the reason I followed them in the first place. No offense but This app is slowly becoming annoying like Facebook.

This might not be taken seriously but please consider or just have a look at ya app

Ignoring of Reports of Slitz

2020-06-12

I understand that you are prioritizing reports based on the corona virus, but are seriously ignoring millions and millions of reports over the same thing?? Millions of people are reporting these “Slitz” and you’re doing nothing about it. I don’t think you actually understand what these people are doing because they’re a dangerous organization who are doing violent things. They’re hiding gore in their FanCams and they call themselves Slitz. They send videos of people getting tortured and raped and they think it’s funny. They post videos that look normal and then it changes to children hanging or people shooting themselves to women getting tortured sexually like getting their private parts cut out. It scaring people and it’s creating trauma, especially for people with vasovagal syncope who faint easily at the sight of blood. Everyone is reporting them and absolutely nothing has been done about it, it’s been happening for months.

The app goes blank whenever I try to navigate to my profile. Immediately I click on my profile icon, apps goes blank. Even when I close the app, I still can't navigate to my page. The only way I can go to my profile is when someone tags me on a post, or likes any of my posts, then I click on my handle to get to my page.

I also noticed that my page setting button is gone. So I can't even edit my page or change the settings.

This is very annoying

I have been a long-term user of instagram, it used to be a great app that I enjoyed for its photo-sharing abilities and messaging facilities. What has detracted from its past ease of use and enjoyability is the annoying and irrelevant adverts that are almost always spam or a scam. At this point I’d pay for the app just to stop seeing them. The platform is full of spam and bots, which incessantly tag you in photos, try to follow you or send you and other users messages that are inappropriate or pure nonsense. Instagram makes no effort to address the huge number of fake accounts and the constant stream of spam that harasses its users. It also has made minimal effort to address the fact that influencers do not honestly indicate what is or isn’t a sponsored post, not mention the number of misleading products sold and advertised by these means. The stories function was a great addition until every 3rd story from someone you actually follow became an advert that was spam or scam — I see adverts for wigs from a dubious sources about 15 times a day and I am not interested in buying a wig nor a pet bed that I’ve seen 500 times under a different name. Extremely frustrated and over this app, what is the point?

I love this app. I love using the ig effects, posting, liking the pics and videos, following and getting followers. I’ve been on this app since 2016 and it didn’t disappoint me. Well, until now. My only problem with the app is that I can’t re-share other peoples videos or posts on my story anymore. My add to your story button has gone missing. I legit have to take a screenshot and then look for the accounts name. I’m honestly getting tired of it. There’s must be something done. Hope u guys get and read my review and fix the problem

Blurry videos

2019-12-28

I love a Instagram! It’s the only social media app I use daily. Lately however, a lot of the videos have been looking blurry (especially videos from the iPhone 8 Plus and lower which are super blurry). Videos from even the iPhone X can be a bit blurry. The text on all videos (including from the iPhone 11 Pro Max) is blurry/not crisp. Sometimes the text in videos is not even legible. Please fix this ASAP. Instagram is a visual medium and it’s been really hard to enjoy it when the visuals are not as the user intended for it to be. It really does ruin the app for all of us. Please can you fix the text in videos and video quality in general in the coming updates. Thank you.

“Add post to your story” feature

2019-11-14

I am honestly quite frustrated because I do now have the “add post to your story” feature on Instagram, I can’t even share my own posts to my stories. Instagram has for whatever reason turned off that feature for me. I have only had access to this feature once for about 2 days and then it left again. My Instagram app is always up to date and I have ‘uninstalled’ and ‘reinstalled’ the app countless times but to no avail. Please please may you assist me with this issue. It’s extremely frustrating and there is absolutely no reason for it. It also can’t be my phone because I’m using a new one now and still experiencing this same issue even when I log into Instagram on another person’s phone I still cannot access this feature even though the owner of the phone can access it on her own account, so it’s a problem with my account.

I am recently having a horrible experience with the app I keep trying to play the music feature I used to have on the app over my boomerangs and images and videos the ones with the lyrics it has completely disappeared off my app whether I swipe up to bring the gifs and other options up, or if I press the logo in the top right hand of the screen used to bring up the polls , gifs , smileys and images and music you can add to your posts and it won’t allow me now for some odd reason and about two weeks ago I could do it another issue I’m experiencing is, as of yesterday I can’t send messages to people or friends I know without them starting a conversation first it brings up an error saying can’t create the thread and asks for me to report it, I report it and no one gets back to me I even tried emailing them after deleting the app and even trying to redownload it I even updated my iPhones software two days back and nothing happens still I am struggling to do what I need to and I’m an artist I use the app for networking and work It’s frustrating for me

Notifications

It’s been 6 months now I don’t receive notifications when outside the Instagram App... I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♂️ what going on because all notifications are turned on & I’m running the latest version of iOS with a latest updated instagram App. Earlier this year I thought maybe my phone is too old so I decided to buy a latest version of Apple iPhone and move my account to it but still no notifications when I’m outside the App. To clarify I don’t sign out from the App I just exit when I’m done using it. I don’t remove my details which means it suppose to notify me when I’m not on it about all activities which are taking place on my account content.

My only suggestion is when posts are deleted, they are blurred out to the point that you don’t know which post it’s was. This hampers the ability to understand what one did wrong in order to improve for their next posts. A date and time of the post does not help much in locating the picture one used to try understand what was wrong.

Some content is really not above the guidelines and the lack of a functionality to appeal or enquirer, makes the platform appear dictatorship like.

There should be an indicator if it was reported by a follower or Instagram administration. This will assist in how one then corrects their content for the community especially where an account is private and only accepted followers are privy to the posts.

I love the reach it offers to inspire self worth, selflove and tackle some social constructs designed to limit self growth.

Greatest app to store valuable memories and interact.

New feature for favourite accounts

Naksha151112

2018-10-05

Can Instagram have a feature where you can add certain accounts to a "favourites" tab and you can frequently and easily visit that tab that will have a specific list of accounts I visit. I found that the "close friends" screen doesn't allow me to view the accounts but rather only add or remove them. That's quite pointless for me. The search feature has frequently searched accounts but that will always change. "Saved" screen only allows saved posts, not accounts. Maybe favourites could be a new tab on the profile screen or a new option in the menu.

Probably best app 👍🏻

I absolutely think that Instagram is a great app the new GIFS are amazing but i think that things should take a shorter time to download when using stickers or GIFS. Instagram should be able to use for any one over the age of 10 because this is such a well made app and i see there has been a lot of thought gone into it. This is a good app to use. To express any emotions on pictures where you can post what you like and know one can tell you i its not a good pic or not. This app is wonderful i think people are lucky to have this because it is so well made and done i truly think this is a good app

I have invested a lot in my Instagram account and i trusted the app for keeping my memories safe. A month ago my account was disabled and I appealed as this was a mistake. I have been sending almost 10 pictures to verify my ID. Was told my issue was resolved. But up until now i am still unable to log into my account. I need my pictures and communication. Instagram helps me cope as it is full of positive people i can communicate with. Now they do not answer my emails. I have requested help with another email address but i keep getting generic messages regardless of me having gone prior the process of appeal and being told my issue has been resolved. Very disappointed on how I’ve been handled. Very ineffective customer service.

Slow to update to latest versions

2018-08-03

My instagram never updates to the latest versions at the same time as everyone else. This is my only app that does this even though I’ve set all my apps to auto-update on the WiFi. No matter how many times I delete the app, re-download it and reboot my iphone, I STILL don’t have some of the upgraded features. It took me 5 months to get the new fonts when everyone else had them. I had to DM Instagram before they fixed it months later. I still don’t have the ability to upload pics from my camera roll, only items from the last 24 hours. I guess I’ll try again in December.

Folders of photos and cropping

2017-10-12

I love Instagram and I use it regularly as a form of self-expression. However, there is one small aspect that frustrates me. When I am posting multiple images at once they all get automatically cropped to the same sized as the first photo in the series. This means that I cannot post horizontal and vertical pictures in the same series or the images get cut off. This is further exacerbated by the fact that when I try to edit the images in the series individually they zoom in even further and I can not zoom out to show a little more of the picture.
