4% of complaints say only that the app is bad, without saying what fails; they count as complaints but under no issue. A review can report more than one issue, so the shares do not add up to 100%.

Khó chịu
Suốt ngày bị quét acc với bị vô hiệu hoá, khó chịu vãi chưởng
Smh👿
The Ads and AI are getting out of control!! 0/10 I miss the old days when it was just friends and family!
No way to opt out of AI training
Forcing users to opt into AI training with no ability to opt out, not a good platform for creatives or humans in general! Their decision to include business accounts in forced AI training makes this app worthless
Suspended just now
I have no idea why all my accounts get suspended but I am done I am not a robot nor did I do anything wrong I didn’t have any referrals or nothing I just got suspended. I’m not downloading this app again.
Stop shoving AI down our throats
Meta’s new policy that they have permission to train their AI on any images from professional accounts, with no way to opt out is ridiculous. They continually push AI features that very few people want. I am tired of so many Reels and less and less oversight on what sort of experience we get in our feeds.
meta is the worst
insta is now the most stupid app ever, its a tiktok copy but with somehow more ai slop and stalking, full of racist bots. all thanks to facebook ceo, this app is trash and is proposing all business accounts get their work scrapped by ai. This is the biggest infringement on copyright that I’ve ever heard of. hope this app explodes and so does whatsapp and facebook. have tried deleting accounts and it just doesnt let me, sleezy af
AI and data scraping
AI has ruined Instagram. I do not want AI scraping my data and stealing my art. I rely on Instagram for my business but hate how AI is being shoved down our throats.
Serious Concerns About Meta’s Role in Brazil’s Elections
Instagram’s handling of political content surrounding Brazil’s elections raises serious concerns about transparency, content moderation, and the potential influence of Meta’s algorithms on democratic discourse. Reports and allegations of inconsistent moderation, reduced visibility of political content, and selective enforcement deserve independent scrutiny and clear explanations from Meta. When a platform has the power to influence what millions of citizens see, accountability is not optional. Decisions affecting political expression should be transparent, consistent, and open to independent oversight. Meta’s lack of meaningful transparency undermines public confidence in both the platform and the integrity of online political discourse. Brazilian users deserve better than opaque algorithms and corporate statements that fail to address legitimate concerns. Meta must be held accountable for how its platforms handle election-related content. Public trust cannot exist without transparency.
FASCIST AMERICAN APP
THE META COMPANY IS INTERFERING ON MY COUNTRY’S ELECTION AND FAVORING THE EXTREME RIGHT WING AND HATE GROUPS.
Unfair Content Moderation & Concerns About Political Bias
The algorithm is controlled to favor whoever they want to win the election to benefit their company. I had a terrible experience when I was posting in support of a specific political party: they removed one of my posts, citing child nudity. There’s a lot of misinformation on the app, and its policies don’t seem to be effectively enforced to remove it or protect users. People are being divided by hate speech so they spend more time on the app.
Meta is suspected of favoring Flávio Bolsonaro in the Brazilian election race.
"Meta is suspected of favoring Flávio Bolsonaro in the Brazilian election race. A foreign company cannot have the power to influence political rumors in Brazil through its algorithms. We demand transparency, impartiality, and respect for Brazilian democracy!"
Wrongfully suspended my account
My account was permanently disabled, I tried to appeal but nothing came of it. Meta ai wrongfully suspended me when I’ve done nothing wrong.
Political Interefernce
App interferes in political process in Brazil, promoting fake news against one side and protecting the other in massive ways to obtain power against the people right to fair elections.
Bad decisions
Meta is interfering with Brazilian democracy and causing serious harm to it.
Cannot opt out of Ai trash
New update allows Ai to scrape info images DMS photos everything to train its water guzzling Ai. This is horrible.
AI slop over human users
Why is the AI Objection Form region-locked? Give U.S. users the right to opt out of AI training.
Zero starts
Very upsetting that there’s now an option to add audio to previous post. But when you go to edit/delete that audio you can’t. I added a song to a previous post, I thought I would like, I changed my mind and would like to change the song that I added to the post. I literally can’t change it and now I have an embarrassing song tied to a post, and I can’t simply change the song. So I’m faced with deleting the entire post.
Fix these, would you
1. Why is it when I click a profile it takes the whole page! That’s VERY INCONVINIENT. What if I want to go back and forth between multiple different profiles that I’m viewing? The bottow-row icons should stay visible! Say I access a profile through the home page, then another through messages, then a third through reels, and so on and so forth through my profile and through search. I could easy acces to FIVE profiles!!!! Instead of leaving a profile to go to another, and then to leave that and come back. 2. Nobody has ever created a sticker through that icon in messages. Please bring back the save icon that used to be there! At least make it a third option. Why would I wanna make a sticker of a random reel? I bet the total number of times that feature has ever been used is less than the number of times the save reel quick-action was used IN A SINGLE DAY. Check your analytics.
To tuff it takes forever to go there the wheel spins Instagram is going downhill
You make it way too hard to get into Instagram it's ridiculous
Suspended
Instagram has suspended which is not cool at all and now I can’t make an account that is stupid I am really frustrated at this
Banned
I used to love this app a lot but it has been keeping me banned from my whole device since last year. I recommend y’all fix that because me being banned over a Hoco picture is insane.
Dear instagram
Stop deleting my accs
STOP CHANGING THE UI EVERY 5 MINUTES
I get used to the UI and then you change it??? and it happens OVER and OVER again. just be happy with your app layout or how stories play. this is the kind of tweaking i expect from an app that just came out not a social media app that has existed for years. If it changes one more time im deleting it istg
Broken algorithms
Continually showing me videos in foreign language languages
CAN NOT SEE POSTS
My account: acupinacat is unable to see anyone’s posts. I’ve already tried deleting and reinstalling the Instagram app, as well as logging out and waiting few days before logging back in,but the issue persists. Additionally, I cannot access the in-app help/support menu to submit a report directly. Please check and resolve this issues as soon as possible

when you add audio to a photo story, you have a story with a green line on the side. I’m using a Iphone 17 with ios 27 so it’s not about the device. I’ve tried ways and turn out i have to delete and reinstall the app for A STORY without the stripe. Does it mean I have to delete and reinstall the app whenever i want to POST A PICTURE TO MY STORY WITH AN AUDIO???? ridiculous!!!
