1. [R2] Instagram 5/5 · US Cool: Coming up with new stuff every day
2. [R4] Instagram 1/5 · US Random features and useless AI: The AI features and random new additions are so goddamn annoying. We don’t need an AI chatbot, we don’t need AI avatars, and we don’t need whatever “instants” are
3. [R5] Instagram 5/5 · US LOVE: Love the app but I wish I had the update where I can move around the pictures on the carousel to change which one is the cover photo🥹
4. [R6] Instagram 3/5 · US Add your’s story prompts needs its own section.: Instagram knows that story engagement is paramount given feed posting is no longer as popular. The “add your’s” story prompts and other story features, I.e custom filters made by creators need to be way more easily findable. I don’t want to solely rely on a friends story to add my own post.
5. [R3] Instagram 3/5 · US issue with reposting (respond asap): im typing out this review because earlier today when I got into Instagram and found something that was relatable, I reposted it but it gave a notification that said Instagram restricts certain activity to protect our community and im just wondering if my account’s having a issue or ygs just restricted my account from reposting anything. if ygs can respond, it’d
6. [R11] Instagram 5/5 · US I love IG: Out of all the social medias Instagram is definitely my favorite. I feel it’s very easy to use and is very helpful as a business
7. [R21] Instagram 3/5 · US Glitches: This app is good and all but, there’s been major glitches lately, you see whenever I open the back I noticed I got a notification from direct messages and I checked there’s nothing there and when I went back to the main section the 5 selection on the bottom is gone I tried to refresh but nothing worked
8. [R31] Instagram 1/5 · US Reorder grid isn’t working: Please fix. Keeps saying something’s wrong error
9. [R1] Instagram 1/5 · US Mass suspension: Instagram is a really amazing app but the mass suspension going on by the ai reviews is really concerning and frustrating. I got my ig account @au10entiko, perma suspended after it was doing amazing with reels and post. I was getting a lot of views and likes, and one day I get suspended for a reason that wasn’t even close to being true. I hope you resolve this issue, and I hope t
10. [R7] Instagram 1/5 · US Stop banning for no reason: Dear instagram my account 5waystogettothapape got suspended but this is the 20th I been suspended. And this is wrongly m. I didn’t do nun.
11. [R19] Instagram 1/5 · US They will suspend your account and won't tell you why: Had to finally delete the app after years of using and loving it because they suspended my account for absolutely NO reason! All my memories are GONE! including my PROM PICTURES!!!!!!! I'm incredibly disappointed and will never recommend this app to anybody unless they want to lose all their memories for zero reason
12. [R22] Instagram 1/5 · US Support sucks bad: I’ve been waiting for a week to get care minimum help. I am very unhappy with instagram.
13. [R16] Instagram 1/5 · US Racist platform: This app genuinely sucks, people in here are so rude and racist. Whenever I report something NOTHING gets done. Not to mention the state of the comments after they added the image feature.
14. [R27] Instagram 3/5 · US Doesn’t go against their guidelines: So I have had this happened multiple times now. people pretending to be you or somebody you know don’t get banned because it doesn’t go against their guidelines
15. [R30] Instagram 3/5 · US Allow Following and Followers List to be Private.: The only missing thing that’ll boost interactions and activity on Instagram is privatizing the feature which allows other people to view your follower or following list. That’ll boost production and activity on Instagram by 200%.
16. [R58] Instagram 2/5 · US Ig got hacked: My Ig got a phone number and email that I didn’t put on my account. When I try to login I have to enter a code that was sent to that phone number or email, which I don’t know because I didn’t add them. IG needs to do better. At least let me verify my identity with my face. Please update this feature. Thanks overall, I think Ig is great.
17. [R32] Instagram 5/5 · US Instagram: Great community that I only wish had an option to speak to a human for help when it is needed. Customer service is the only thing I think is desperately needed. The app is a truly great way to connect people
18. [R94] WhatsApp Messenger 1/5 · US WhatsApp Ban for NO REASON: it keeps getting my account under review over and over and over again despite not violating any terms of services. it’s costing me my important work. I’m so done with What’sApp at this point. Nothing like this ever happened before. Please FOR GOD SAKE fix your problem WhatsApp with my account. Also the AI-generated responses from WhatsApp are extremely USELESS and SUPPO
19. [R40] Instagram 1/5 · US Disabled for nothing and I can’t even contact anyone: I had this same ig for years and got banned it’s been about 2 months everytime I try to make an acc the account gets instantly disabled please recover my account @jaixcartier @mon3cler
20. [R10] Instagram 1/5 · US We're going downhill: I used to love instagram- but with all the new updates, it feels as if AI is being shoved down our throats. I'm ready to just delete it.
21. [R13] Instagram 1/5 · US Way too many ads: Every 2-3 post is an ad. And the other one is an influencer selling you something. So that makes 33-50% of the content you see to be ads. Also the worst AI I have ever seen so far is the Meta AI. And now it’s in everything.
22. [R46] Instagram 1/5 · US Poor App: Added AI to everything so now it sucks
