If you want to share content with your friends and family... where can you go? Instagram has purposefully fought a world where you share content with a limited group of users and consume a limited, but meaningful, group of content creators (i.e. you friends and family).

You can't opt-out of the algorithm and can't create a post/story/reel/highlight (and why so many types of the same thing?) that has the same experience in the app and desktop.

If you're not an influencer, or AI slop creator, what other platforms are worthwhile? Because I find the whole experience really frustrating...

Am I the only one?

Last night my account got suspended for CSE (?!) and of course I tried to appeal because I thought it was completely unbelievable and not even within 10 minutes, my appeal got denied and my accounts been disabled. I downloaded the account information and I still can’t even find the apparent CSE I was banned for. Is my account seriously just gone forever now?

is it actually one person checking throughout the day on anonymous story viewers? i have instagram plus and can see times people viewed my story and it’s every 2-5 hours i’m seeing a bot as i post throughout the day.

My account has been suspended for the reason of “sexualization of children”. I have never, never had done such things for instagram to take such action on my account. From what instagram suggested, I have never join and any group that does such things, nor have I liked any reels, etc that suggest of the reason that I was suspended. Is there a way to reinstate my account?

My thr3ads account was banned for no reason I’m guessing they have some AI managing it, but in return it banned all my Instagram accounts, and Facebook accounts, including business accounts…….My appeal was submitted on the 22nd of last month, and I’ve still yet to hear anything? What is the best plan of action from here? I’d really love to have my accounts back, especially considering my Facebook has stuff with passed relatives and all of that. 🙄😒 !!ANY INFO IS APPRECIATED!! (PIC FOR ATTENTION)

For the past three days I’m getting almost nothing but AI-generated junk, ultra generic family vlog stuff, or random videos from what I believe is mostly India. I’ve gotten a handful of international videos from non-English speaking countries before but they’re usually those sort of universal comedic videos that are mega viral and what I’m getting is just… not that. My explore page still has the videos I like but if I scroll even one or two down it switches back the weird reels. I pretty much skip all of them but it’s like my algorithm is just refusing to correct itself

All of my Instagram reels have been video with over a million views. 98% or them are from India, Africa, or Asia, or straight up Ai slop. I haven't interacted with any of those things. I'm american and really the only things I looked at was nerdy content, video games, and memes.

I've tried blocking certain words and phrases and hitting not intrested and blocking accounts but it isn't helping

My bf got a message from a girl who claimed to be a from another country visiting ours. He asked if they knew eachother and she said no she just came across his profile and wanted to chat. He sent me all the messages as soon as it happened and I told him to ask more cause I was curious.

She sent him like a one time pic of her face in bed and asked for my bf to send a pic back then my bf just cut the convo and said he had a gf and didnt wanna lead her on in anyway cause he loves me.

She kept on claiming she just wanted to be friends before that but as soon as my bf said that she blocked him. Does this seem like a real person to you guys? Like it is obvious on my bf's profile that he is in a relationship.

Hi guys! I already deleted my account in panic but Im still paranoid about this. Today my account suddenly changed to korean, my profile pic and my description completely changed and my dms are full of korean bots i guess?
If anyone has any ideas about this or a good advice I would love to hear it!

My Algorithm is so broken right now. I’ve reset it multiple times, but it’s turned into Indian slop, whether it’s videos with 10 likes, or random 10 like reels. How do I fix this?

This has been happening for some time now, where I will see some posts from people I follow that will have a couple likes, and that has been posted many days ago? Why is this? Does this have something to do with archiving?

They made a new account but added an extra underscore at the end. They’re asking my mutuals for money or favours. I made a story warning people that’s not me but a scammer. The account is not searchable anymore and I can’t find it. I’ve enabled 2FA and a passkey

I’m really worried and anxious

My Following count includes deactivated accounts that I can’t find in my list. I’ve already reported the issue to Instagram, but nothing has changed.
Has anyone found a way to remove these accounts or fix the count?

I also don’t have the repost button. Anyone else experience this or know how to get it??

I had an acc which got disabled approx a month ago and now that I have created a new account, last night it suddenly got under review and I did nothing and still its under review...I did the verification and also submitted the documents...help me so that I won't lose my account again!!

So, I tried to follow someone, but I had reached the limit for the number of people that I could follow for today. However, I accidentally pressed the button that said the notice was a mistake. Will Instagram suspend my account for that?

Hihi! I'm pretty new to using Insta still and recently got into a messy breakup with an ex. I put them on restricted and about a week ago he messaged me but I left it on delivered(?) basically i looked at the message and never replied. Today I wanted to reply to the message and I couldn't find him when I clicked on "requested" is that normal?

Posting here incase someone has an answer

I woke up today and checked my phone to see what my boyfriend sent me on Instagram and almost shit myself when it said “Instagram User” on it with a blank profile. I opened his profile with shaky hands and his profile was there and didn’t say instagram user anymore. I thought it was a glitch so I opened the search bar and I could search his name. I was freaking out about it still because instagram takes a while to process when someone blocks you sometimes so I called him and he answered and was like “what’s wrong?”

Apparently he did not block me at any point because it wouldn’t sent me the notification that he followed me again after he unblocked me and he was still following me with no notification.

Thanks for the heart attack instagram

fix the damn notifications already

About a month ago or so, I started to get direct message previews that drop down while I am on Instagram and I can’t stand them. All my notifications are turned off, so I don’t understand what changed this and how to get them to stop. Any help is appreciated.
