This review is a drop in a sea of people who love Instagram, but still. The app consistently sends horribly uncalled for and meaningless notifications that can't be toggled off, and are only disabled automatically while regularly using the app. That is to say, if you rarely use it, you'll keep receiving useless notifications like "X, Y, and Z shared 15 photos", or "Join A, B, and C in following D". Occasionally, Instagram will shamelessly drop self-promotion in your notification center ("Check out today's picture from the official Instagram account").Edit: 6 minute videos where you can't scrub and have to watch in one setting with hardly any ability to pause are a HORRIBLE idea.

Instagram’s automated system has become completely unfair and unreliable. My main account was permanently suspended, and I lost access to it even though the only accounts linked to it were old accounts that I had already deactivated and no longer used. There was no real explanation, no proper support, and no way to speak to an actual person.After that, I created a new account and the same problems started again. The account kept getting suspended and restored repeatedly even though I was using it normally. The app constantly says my correct password is wrong, verification systems fail randomly, and SMS confirmation leads to blank error popups instead of logging me in. I can log in from Safari and other devices, but the Instagram app itself keeps blocking access for no reason.This entire experience has been stressful and exhausting. Real users are being falsely flagged by broken automated systems while there is almost no human support available. Instagram seriously needs to fix its suspension, appeal, and verification system because loyal users are losing accounts unfairly with no clear solution.

Hello, I had a problem in 7/2/19 in my instagram app on my iphone XR it gives me an error everytime i am trying to log in, the error saying “ sorry, there was a problem with your request. “ I tried many thing to fix this but nothing works.. i reset my phone, delete and re-install the app on wifi and on 3G many times, changed the password.. the last trial was yesterday I sent you an e mail thru help center and someone called adam helped me. I sent my photo with my name written on a paper with a number they said.. and even with this they couldn't help, so please what should I do, or what can you do to fix it and help me. I need my access on the app back. NB: the problem is not from my account neither from my phone.. I am opening now on the same phone thru safari from the instagram website and im writing you.. and i can open my account on other devices thru the app, only its not opening on the instagram app on my iphone XR

To whom this may concern,These past several Instagram app updates have, in my opinion, done more harm than good. I myself greatly prefer the older setup to the recent one. While I understand that Instagram has become more than a photo sharing app, the share and activity button being replaced by the reels and shopping button is a great hindrance. At this point, asking for their complete removal seems fruitless, so instead I ask for a feature that would allow Instagram users to reorder the multiple buttons and customise their setup however which way they choose. That way, the people who want the shipping button and reels button on the bottom of the menu can have their way, and the people who would prefer to have the old menu layout can have their way. Many Instagram users do not use Instagram to shop, and so I hope something can be done about the menu layout. Thank you.

Hello! So ive had a instagram account for almost 2 years now and recently its gotten disabled once and i couldnt make an appeal for some reason but it made me verify my id which i did and then this happened again recently but it logged me out ALL of my accounts on instagram not just one and suspended them, i understand that they need to take reports to consideration but sometimes those reports are fake and lead to unjustified bans which is what im guessing is trying to happen to me. Whilst i dont want to be banned or ip banned permanently from instagram because its my way to connect to faimly, friends, relatives etc this is a huge issue happening to multiple users including myself that upsets me. I wish that instagram updates their app and allows it to reach its full potential in safety as it should.

I have a brand new iphone 11 and whenever i shoot a story video on instagram, and switch from the selfie camera to the back camera while recording, then when i watch the video, either the selfie camera or the back camera image becomes flat. If i start from the selfie camera and switch to the back camera, the selfie image becomes flat, whereas when i start with the back camera then switch to the selfie camera, the back camera becomes flat too. Knowing that this doesn't happen when a filter is put, it happens with the normal story camera.I checked my phone camera and all other apps, the camera is working normally. Please help

So Instagram popped up a notification on my screen saying that my account will be disabled for 24hrs without knowing why. I could still log in my account even though Instagram would say « user not found ». 2 days later I got another notification on my screen saying that my account will be disabled for 30days, but then my account completely disappeared and then another day later, randomly, Instagram requested that I fill a test to prove that I’m not a robot and get my account back easily. I think it’s been a week since all of that idiocy started, is it normal ? Will I get my account back ??

It’s unbelievable how it keeps getting worse. This app was the one I loved most between all the social media platforms but I’ve been restricted too many times without even doing anything wrong . If you report and restrict those bots instead of reporting content creators who are doing their job everything would be perfect. It’s been happening quite a lot lately I can’t post with a caption nor mention someone in my stories can’t comment either . Honestly been always annoyed of the bots in the comment sections and the ones who add you to groups and send you links how come you don’t delete them . I’ve been trying to contact the company so they can fix it but they seem to not care . Fix it.
