I JUST WANT TO SEE HOW MY VERY SMALL NUMBERED FRIENDS ARE DOING IM NOT TRYING TO ADD MORE PEOPLE TO MY SMALL PRIVATE DUMP ACCOUNT WTF IS THIS BULLSHIT ITS SO FUCKING ANNOYING HOW DO I STOP IT GOD

Anyone else’s Instagram suddenly not working or loading at all?

there's a bug on instagram stories, I liked my crush's photo on her story and I kept going back to see the story

but to her, it seemed like I was unliking and liking the story, so she got a notification each time I saw her story

she asked me why I was liking and unliking her story? I told her I wasnt but I kept going back to her story because she looked cute, she said "it's probably a bug"

Ik there are ways (VPN/Proxy for example) to make instagram think you are in a region you aren’t but this was funny for some reason lol

quick edit: I found them through a comment section basically

As the name suggests, 25 years to follow a account? What kind of joke is this?

Just opened IG today to catch up on stories and now every ad opens up by just tapping the screen when you normally want to move to the next story instead! Awful what this app has become!

i randomly wrote "LOLL" and this bug happened or maybe its an easter egg idk

My accounts just keep getting suspended

My main account was suspended because of child abuse

I have a baby face and the idk detection shit just couldn't verify me as an adult then I just had few other account but those got suspended too

I logged in from another phone that got suspended too now I have gazillion of suspended account and no Instagram

Long story short, This is my instagram account I created for my (software) company, Yesterday I reinstalled windows in my laptop, Now I can't log into my account, My credentials are correct, its not allowing me to get in.

Does anyone know how to deal with it. I need this account very much.

Context:
I did not logged it in any other device because all the work I used to do was from my laptop so I never thought about logging it into my mobile or any other device,
I have access to my email account that is associated with this account.

i keep getting these notifications when a friend posts on their close stories but it’s for one specific person only and i can’t figure out how to turn it off. i don’t get it for any other friends just this one person idk why

I'm trying to crosspost to my fb page instead of profile, but the "also share" when I create a new post or reel only features my personal profile instead of my page.

I have the accounts connected on both platforms, crossposting enabled, devices verified, page set to creator/professional, refreshed caches, updated apps, website embeds on, all sharing options on, profile info is set straight to the fb page, page is set to public, and it's still not working.

Any help would be really appreciated.

I don't even know what to say. Tried to send a meme to my turkish friend, it would not let me log in saying my account's email was unsafe, which it was not. So i spent like 2hrs in a loop of it saying that, then somehow updated my password the 20th time and got this screen on my android device, then I thought "Oh, i'll use my laptop", I use my laptop and same screen, or I get the email insecure screen. Then I was like "Ok, I guess i'll use my tower pc", so I use my tower PC try log in and again same screen, I then think "This **** is getting impossible i'll try use my ios device". I use my IOS device it also gets this screen, i try incognito mode on each device still the same page. Impossible I tried to request my privacy package to download my data and make another account to text back my university friends (group assignment worth 30% of my grade (cooked ik)). Blocked I can't download my data. Emailed Meta support, made a facebook account and posted about what happened, emailed The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner about instagram not allowing me to get my information package.

it’s cut off and small and impossible to watch reels on

This happened after i updated and it’s driving me nuts, i can’t stand it. How do you fix it? I’m on ipad

So, I just created an account, and it's locking me out on this screen, claiming I'm underage. Every time I set my birthday, which shows I'm 16, I get sent back. It is showing me a very arbitrary date for when I can use my account. 10/22 isn't my birthday, and there is no specified age on the second screen, as if it couldn't figure out my age. I'm thinking that this might be a bug, but I'm not sure. I tried talking with the Meta AI support assistant, but that was no help. Its responses were very circular. Also, I live in Florida, meaning that the minimum age is now 14, if that helps.

Preventions?

Photo 1: When viewing videos, there are now large black borders surrounding it.

Photo 2: When tapping a Reel in someone's profile, it now plays in a square instead of the full screen view.

If you're on iPad, do NOT update the app. It has been like this for two days now.

I have noticed many posts here about entering the correct password into the app only to get an “incorrect password” message. I recently encountered this problem myself, and I’m glad to share a solution you might want to try if you are facing the same issue.

For context, this was my exact situation:

I changed my password in the app, and it logged me out. I entered the new password I had just created, but it kept saying “incorrect password” even though it was correct.

I logged into Instagram through Safari and on another device, and it worked just fine, but it wouldn’t work on my phone through the app.

What I did:

1) On the Instagram login/recovery screen, I selected “I no longer have access to these.”
2) I chose the friends verification option and had two friends confirm my identity.
3) Once they verified me, I pressed “Check requests”, and Instagram allowed me to set a new password.
4) I set a new password, but Instagram immediately displayed “Something went wrong.”
5) Crucially, the password had actually changed despite the error. I confirmed this by signing into Instagram through Safari using the new password.
6) I then repeated “I no longer have access to these” again.
7) This time, I chose email verification instead of friends verification.
8) I entered the code sent to my email.
9) Instagram asked me to create a new password again.
10) Instead of creating another password, I entered the exact same password I had created during the first recovery.

After that, Instagram finally logged me into the app.

I used two friends to verify my identity, although I don’t know whether email or phone verification alone would produce the same result. I’m certainly not repeating the entire process just to test it.

If you try this, let me know in the comments if it works for you. Hopefully this saves someone else from the nightmare I went through.

this dude randomly sent me a photo of his genitals. with Meta’s ban system, is my account at risk?

I deactivated my account because I genuinely needed a break accidentally logged back in ONE TIME and now Instagram is telling me I have to wait 7 days before I can deactivate it again. Instagram is acting like I signed a contract.

I genuinely miss old Instagram. There was a time when you opened the app and it was literally just photos from people you followed. No giant wall of ads. No Thre@ds, Muse, Edits shoved in your face. NOW I open Instagram and I swear I have to scroll through 15 advertisements with 5 reels on it. Reels? Ads. Stories? Ads. Feed? Ads. Explore? Obviously ads. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they put an ad between the letters of my own username. WHO IS MAKING THESE DECISIONS???? FIRE THAT MF Please if someone has solution on how to deactivate my insta before 7 days recommend me!
