Instagram

I like to think for myself

Videos continue playing when it’s refreshers

I have put a lot of thought into curating my profile to look nice in the square grid format, and the change to rectangles has completely messed this up. The square format previously allowed me to post both portrait and landscape pictures without too much of the photo being cut off when you view the grid. I know it was changed to accommodate videos but there should be an option for users to keep the squares if they are not a video creator! I am a visual artist and I post photos of my work—I have no intention of ever making reels. So many artists and businesses are in the same boat as me. It’s really upsetting that the effort we’ve put into our profiles FOR YEARS has been overwritten by the format change. I can no longer display my work in a flattering way, and it honestly makes me not want to use Instagram at all anymore.

If you don’t adjust your harmful and deceitful algorithm I’ll be committing suicide tonight. I cannot cope with the constant and blatant lies that is messing with my mental health. Fix it or I kill myself. Last warning.

I love that it connects me to people I haven’t seen in years, communicating has been way more easier

You locked my account just because you thought me replying to so many posts is deemed terrorism

Many artists, social enterprises and small businesses have noticed the lack of interaction in their posts, and the pressure from Instagram to advertise. Instagram— we build our our followers, we generate original content for your platform, we have to look at your advertising content— and yet you still expect us to pay to get the type of interaction we used to enjoy here. People like me do not want to see the words ‘sponsored content’ under our work. We are small operators, not McDonalds. Instagram is a business— I get it. Please consider subscitions like your sibling Spotify. Let small business subscribe, not see ads, and get full access to our active followers— like we used to. Otherwise you will lose users here as you have done on Facebook.

Reels on main page is the biggest bull***t, instagram isn’t about pictures of your friends anymore, from best app to worst app, good job instagram 👍

Can’t saved and use audios from other people music/reel fix it please
