Support is absolutely non-existent. For months I have been trying in vane to login to my Instagram account. My mobile number has changed and I kept being asked to verify my account. There is no way I can change my mobile number. I created 2 new accounts. Not ideal. Absolutely unacceptable!

The app works quite well , it's fast, it doesn't use much data, though it lacks a lot of great features; it doesn't mark read messages, when you save reels, you don't actually see all , and there's no option for auto lyrics when you want to post your story.

There are a few bugs that are really annoying. Eg: if I go see my saved posts, the list never goes to "page 2" it just keeps repeating the same stuff from "page 1" as I scroll. Same with comments replies.
