What is the point of 10 photos for a reel all of a sudden?? The entire reason that I use the reels feature is to make a fun photo montage of something that would otherwise have been a long clunky photo post on another platform. Also, why do you offer a music selection which isn't actually available? Choose a song and your post will be muted. What's the point of that? You offer copyrighted songs and then you mute the posts. Not super user-friendly.

Fine app with one glaring problem: HDR videos override your screen brightness to maximum settings. No way to regain control whatsoever. Makes it miserable to use in dark areas. Googling the problem tells me that the video's brights are brighter for added contrast. But if I pull my notification bar down, the screen is still blindingly bright! So the video itself isn't bright. It's a display settings issue.

App gets worse with each update. I can't record videos with my face in it on instagram. Is that some AI tech or something? Then when I was looking for the app in the app store it wasn't even there. What are yall doing??? Edit. The app is still straight dirt. Glitches when typing in the stories. Still a few glitches in posting. Joke of an app.
