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.

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.

Super glitchy recently and I'm so over it. Using a OnePlus 8T. 1) the app has started cropping photos and making all subsequent photos in a photo set square 2) It also keeps showing messages I've opened as unread 3) When I take a photo for my story with no filter on through the back camera it automatically over exposes it. It's only fixed if I add a filter before taking the photo.

This app won't even open for me. I keep getting an error message saying to the gist that Instagram can't be opened until the bugs are fixed. I do a lot with Instagram and keep up with a lot of my family because of Instagram. Now, there's no way to contact those family members. Please fix the bugs ASAP!!! I need my family and friends again. If I could have left zero or negative stars, I would have due to whatever Instagram did to start the glitches and bugs.

The app works great. However, my account was suddenly suspended and I'm unable to see why. When I tried reporting the problem, it kept giving me an error message saying that the report was not sending. I tried alternatives and they failed to work. I hope my issue reaches someone to get this fixed. Thank you.

I love this app, but it seems like every time there's an update, they create a problem or make changes to great features for no reason. All of a sudden, I'm dealing with an issue trying to post multiple photos. it's automatically changing the size from the first to the second, I don't get this! if I choose to make my 1st photo as big as possible vertically, all the rest of the photos should follow that same sizing right. So why are you making my 2nd photo square?

This app is perfect when you want to see 10 ads in a row, but it gets really annoying when the algorithm decides to throw in a random friend's post. I want ads. Just more ads. 2 ads in a row? Not enough. 3 ads? You're joking! 6 ads? You're finally getting warmer. MORE ADS! I LOVE IT. That's all I wanted out of an app that markets itself as a social media app that connects you to people. ADS.

It's always a new, unexplainable problem with this app! I regularly have new issues with trying to post a carousel of photos; it used to be that the photos would post warped (or not post at all), or that it wouldn't retain my selected filters, and the latest problem is I'll try to post multiple portrait orientation photos and the first will be portrait, the following images will be cropped to a square for no reason. I'm STILL waiting to be able to post more than 10 photos. Constant letdowns.

Loved this originally until I got hacked in October of 2024. I have tried every way and can't get it back. There is a bug in the selfie video portion that keeps crashing. There is no way to contact Support and get help. I have done friend verification 3 times and still can't get in. There should be a way to reach Support and prove who you are with an ID.
