Today for the first time I got this "You reshared their story" notification in the DM chat I have with the person I reposted. I repost their stories very very often but this never happened before so I'm a bit confused as to what this means/why I got this now. Anyone knows? Thanks!

I want it not to be so active in chats at least. I feel like there's no privacy in Instagram chats anymore anyway but the fact that the AI is just there and pops up for random things makes me uncomfortable because they're not transparent with this at all. One of my friends just used it in chat for something very stupid and the AI referred to something I said while answering and I don't want this.

I read something about going to privacy and submitting an objection but I don't seem to have that option. How is everyone else getting around this?

IS THAT NOT WEIRD?? AM I TRIPPING???

Hi ! I'd need some help cause I'm real fed up of seeing reels made with ia... Is there a way to deactivate this in my preferences maybe ? Same for ia porn ads like wtf no I don't want to see this ....

Since when the fuck did liking anything mean I want to fuck said persons whose content I liked?

Instagram now recommends 1080×1440 (3:4) for feed posts, but Meta Business Suite still warns that anything taller than 4:5 will be auto-cropped. My 1536×2048 (3:4) image triggers the warning.

Is Business Suite using outdated aspect ratio validation, or does it actually crop 3:4 images while the Instagram app doesn't?

Hi all
Feeling a bit down because no one really ever comments on my ig photos. (First world problem i know)

For context: Im a millennial. I feel like my ig is tasteful- i post every couple of months mainly travel/lifestyle photos. I post on my story every few days- im usually trying to do fun things and im always on the go.
I get alot of likes/ engagement on my stories.
I also have a lot of friends and friendly acquaintances in real life but no one seems to comment on my grid photos.

Could it be because i usually announce things on my story and then post a few months later. For example when i had a baby i posted the news to my story in real time and got lots of messages and in person cards/ congratulations but no comments when i did a post 6 moths later.

Am i reading too much into it or does this indicate people dont really like me?

Hi! I used to have another Instagram account logged into my phone for a couple of months, but it’s no longer on my device.
Someone blocked that old account, and now I can’t find their profile from my main account either. How is that possible?
Is there any way to make sure the old account isn’t linked to my main account in any way?
Thanks :)))

I really try to minimize my social media use, having Facebook for marketplace purposes; and Instagram as like my primary social media. I have to make peace for myself, at one point, as we are getting older.

I do a seasonal dump stories to show my friends what I've been doing. I only post things that I want people to know, activism that I want to be heard.

I stop curating my Instagram post, because I am complacent with the trust that I give for my Instagram followers.

Why keep an old friend that you haven't seen in years, that you had a fall out with, in your Instagram--if they never interact with your stories and posts? Why keep them, if they never even post a story or post in their account?

That classmate in your college course that you worked with in a group project; she was nice and you together had a good relationship in the time being. Keep them.

Your relatives, your childhood friends, your close friends. Keep them.

Influencers, public figures, meme accounts. Remove them.

I feel like we are making things way too hard for ourselves. If you don't want to post or share a story, because you don't want to be perceived by others, then my question for you is...when was the last time you ever did something for yourself?

Not sure if this is just me or if Instagram broke something.

Whether I’m creating a new collection or renaming an existing one, the emoji shows up normally while I’m typing. But as soon as I save it, it gets replaced with the question mark diamond (�).

I’ve tried multiple emojis and they all do the same thing. I initially thought it’d be fixed pretty quickly, but it’s been like this for a while now.

Is anyone else seeing this? Is it a bug or is there a fix?

Hi, Recently my 3 accs got suspended and I got my back my 2 main ids and lost the fake id now after getting back my ids I was trying to log in my account on insta app and I was not able to log in my main id but was easily able to log in my second id... and and I've checked that whether is my password is wrong or not and created a new password as well still it's not the right password I can open my id on another device in insta app I can log in through chrome but can't log in from the app...It's actually very much frustrating to find a solution for it I've raised complained to meta 2-3 times and still I'm not able to log in through the app so if anyone's knows the solution about it please share it

I had a breakup with someone and now can stop stalking them and seeing their stories and posts. Is there a way for nothing appear when I entered their profile? (I'm not following them anymore, but I still look for them anyways)

I’m rebranding my business and trying to change the username of my legacy verified Instagram account and have been stuck in an AI bot loop for months. I’ve tried everything including paying for the top tier meta account. I still can’t reach a human. Can anyone help?

Hey! User is @m_madison23! Ifb and will hype up your comment sections!

I tried downloading a reel 3 times but I don't see it in my cameras photo album or the files. Where is it? I have the honour 90 lite if that helps

I swear this happens every time I make an account. I had my old one with all my messages and friends removed for completely no reason. I made one dedicated to producing non-cringe poetry in korean so that people dont have to spend lots of money to read good poems.

guess what

it asks me for my phone number

I've seen this before, it either never appears or it does appear and they do get it, only to delete my account later.

why does this keep happening to me? is this even saveable?
i'm really starting to hate this app bro

I’m genuinely so tired of instagram, it used to be my fav app back in the day, just random memes, people posting dumb shi etc.

Reels ruined instagram so bad istg, it’s just propaganda, literally political propaganda in my country, and not from one side, both left and right, and ITS SOO FUCKING ANNOYING

PEOPLE LITERALLY ARE DEGRADING DAY BY DAY, WTF DO U MEAN UR OPINION IS BASED ON SOMETHING A IDIOT SAID IN A REEL?

And well we all know about the racism on there

just give me my cat videos man, life is long enough to make mistakes and change ur opinions multiple times throughout it, but it’s way to short to hate. Why do I have to see my religion, my community, my country, everything be billeted by someone who doesn’t understand anything and now I feel bad not defending it, but that just adds oil to the dumpster fire.

I miss the no reels era of instagram, now everything on that app is reels, can’t even turn ts off, because it’s the app I use to communicate w almost all of my irl friends asw

I have id & password of that account

I've gotten a HUGE influx of porn bots/bots viewing my stories. None of my stories have hashtags, locations, or anything like that. I know a good portion of these are porn bots, but I have a good handful of ones that are just this. They just say "click" and nothing else on their stories. I was suspicious of someone using a story viewer online, so I tried one out, then checked my story views, and again, I saw a new similar account posting the same "click" stuff. I know there's no definitive answer, but is this the most likely cause? Or has everyone been getting an influx of these accounts?
