### 4/5 — اربع نجمات لان التطبيق لا يسمح لي باستخدام Avatar

*2026-08-23, version 443.1.0*

اربع نجمات لان التطبيق لا يسمح لي باستخدام Avatar

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2026-08-23, version 443.1.0*

It’s good but tell me why it’s now connected to Facebook and I just saw mothers with their breasts out? I have nothing against it as a woman myself but I think there should be a warning. I have proof.

### 2/5 — yall need to bring back this feature of searching up Locations

*2026-08-23, version 443.1.0*

now i can't even Search up a Location, but i used to be able to search up Locations like neighborhoods please fix this

### 3/5 — No Human Oversight

*2026-08-23, version 443.1.0*

Thanks to Instagram replacing humans with AI, there is more fraud and more porn Instagram accounts (they always show up as viewing my stories. 😪)

I do enjoy using Instagram with my friends, but it’s quite obvious that Instagram is intending to go more of the visual than written route, which is no fun for those of us who enjoy intellectual exchanges about books, philosophy, art, etc. Most are getting frustrated and finding other social media to connect.

### 2/5 — They need less ai more human touch

*2026-08-23, version 443.1.0*

They keep restricting my account with no accurate info about what to do differently. I have no idea how it works. It’s very frustrating, especially when I’m paying for a blue check.

### 2/5 — Which the experience was more customizable

*2026-08-23, version 443.1.0*

I wish they gave you the option to turn reels off while using the app. Youtube lets you do it. Sometimes I still want to youse social media without short form content.

### 3/5 — What’s happening!!

*2026-08-23, version 443.1.0*

PLEASE FIX THE DAMN AUDIO EDITING GLITCHES!

### 3/5 — The music selection

*2026-08-23, version 443.1.0*

They changed up the music selection when I search the artist it doesn’t come up it didn’t use to do that

### 5/5 — Link Wray

*2026-08-23, version 443.1.0*

### 5/5 — @alejandroaariass

### 1/5 — LOS ACCESS

*2026-08-24, version 443.1.0*

I opened my account back in 2013. Always kept it private as I am not a public figure. 
Today I received a notification for the first time ever. “Your password may have been shared online” 
I immediately hoped on IG and changed my professional instagram and my personal private one. While I’m changing the password I clicked “log out all other devices” to avoid a hacker or anything from changing my email on the account. GUESS WHAT NOW IT KEEPS ASKING TO “VERIFY USING A DIFFERENT DEVICE”. The instagram help center does not help at all. I am not even given the option to submit ID to verify credentials. This is so frustrating because I cannot even contact anyone to help. I have lots of memories in this account.

### 1/5 — The government and current political climate won’t let me say who controls this app

*2026-08-24, version 443.1.0*

It’s the Albanians 😉😂

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-08-24, version 443.1.0*

Way too many ads now

### 1/5 — Wtf

*2026-08-24, version 443.1.0*

China is more free than we are

### 1/5 — Ruined Search Function

*2026-08-24, version 443.1.0*

Searching now gives an AI slop summary, without results from relevant reels, or even hashtags. They either want to control everything you see, or are incompetent. Revert this trash update

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-08-23, version 443.1.0*

Take pictures from haters that report f instagram

### 1/5 — If I could I’d give it zero stars

*2026-08-23, version 443.1.0*

I have had Instagram since 2016 and possibly even older than that, only now has my account been wrongfully suspended for something that I had done within my scope of practice for my profession in nursing. I gave my cousin sex education because she had asked about how reproductive systems work and yet I was flagged for doing so? Instagram and the whole meta AI thing is harmful to our REAL society and education. Cant even talk about reproductive systems without it being flagged as something harmful when it’s not. What a joke Instagram has become

### 1/5 — Ig me bloquea

*2026-08-23, version 443.1.0*

Ig me bloquea de la nada, no puedo crear una cuenta por que al siguiente dia ya me la bloquea y eso es que no hago nada malo 🫩

### 1/5 — I’m so frustrated with your team

*2026-08-23, version 443.1.0*

Why can’t I repost videos on Instagram? Everyone else has this feature, why don’t I? I have reported this so many times and you guys have done nothing to help me. I’m so frustrated and irritated. I know so many other people like me that also has this problem, it’s so unfair. Please fix this, it’s so annoying. I’ve literally done everything.

### 1/5 — Stop doing this

*2026-08-23, version 443.1.0*

I always get any update last, like I cannot upload pictures in the comments section and my friends have been able to do that for months… I don’t get it, why update it in batches SOOO FARRR apart…
