Express yourself and connect with people over creative moments.

Never, ever try this app if you’re not a content creator or someone who is truly focused on improving your life. It makes you believe unnecessary things just through music, text, and carefully matched content based on what you feel.Anyone who understands psychology would never touch it, because it’s full of manipulation. If you don’t want to waste your time, this is not the app for you. It works like an AI that studies your mind and shows you reels exactly the way you think, want, or wish.

got a major issue when I cannot access my own profile because the profile button which is placed on the bottom right corner can't be seen. It's plain white and also goes to the other essential buttons placed on the bottom screen. It's completely white.

It's great! Personally, I prefer it over the regular Instagram — fewer bugs, less storage usage, and super easy to use for ordinary people who just want to spend their free time watching posts. But I really don’t get why it doesn’t have the “Add to collection” option for saving posts. I really need this feature! There are so many new options like liking stories, but still no way to save posts to a specific collection? Add it ASAP please!
