Yeah, this app just keeps getting worse. The rectangular layout of the pics looks stupid and makes no sense. Every post on explore turns into reel format, ads are endless, and I see more random content in my feed than friends' posts, even if they're starred. I can't wait until another app like this gets on the market so I can jump ship.

The app just doesn't work. The servers are bad. The app is slow. Recently messages have been basically unusable because they'll ransomly be stuck on "sending" for an extremely long time... no way to keep up a conversation at all. My internet connection is fine and works great on everything else, but on Instagram can't even send a single dm in under 10 minutes. Horrible!!

It's 1/1/25 today, & I'm still posting stuff from my Euro trip in August, because the app crashes just as I'm about to post. 5-10 tries for it to finally go through, & the result is disappointing. I choose mixed orientations, & somehow pictures come out cropped in nonsensical ways on my feed. Some are blurry, when they shouldn't be. Stories are a wild card. Some zoomed in, some not, and no matter what I do, they don't pop up in chronological order. Forced to fix it manually. WHAT IS GOING ON?
