Why do I now have a two step process to save a video. A week ago click save then collections pop up, now I hit save then collections then the folder I want to save in. It’s redundant.

I’m here for the updates bruh
Yall keep suspending my account for no reason at all I haven’t even did anything
Deleted all my accounts for one account that “violated rules” but it did not. Even my BUSINESS ACCOUNT GONE. No way to log in or appeal.
Great app to exercise your creativity.
Instagram is my favorite platform to share and network
Estrella09!!
I don’t know what they did to make the follow button so sensitive but it’s forced me to follow half a dozen people just trying to scroll. That’s one way to get me off the app I guess!
Thanks for not for making me to use si
I’ve been every single account I make suspended and disabled for no reason. This app sucks.
Instagram has been suspending my accounts i dont post much all I use it for is basically reels they need to fix that problem and when I appeal it doesn’t even work.
Whenever someone sends me an Instagram reel through text the link won’t go to the reel they sent me. This only happens with Instagram so I am assuming ya’ll have some bugs.
I miss being able to see all of my friends’ posts like I used too and not so many adds!
Instagram is perfect for sharing art. Why the Admins allow people to openly sell animals on FB & here I don’t know. Or why Animal Trapping videos, which are highly offensive and promoting animal cruelty is allowed on FB or Instagram? I use it to post the beauty of art!
