Dear Instagram team,I really appreciate the continued improvements to the Instagram app, but I would like to request a new feature that many users have been asking for: the ability to hide the list of followers and following even when the account is public.Currently, the only way to protect who you follow or who follows you is to make your account private. This creates a situation where users who want a public presence still feel exposed and unable to control this basic privacy setting.A toggle to hide these lists would:• Improve user privacy and safety, especially for young users and public figures.• Reduce social pressure and comparison metrics tied to follower/following lists.• Give users more control without forcing them to choose between private and public accounts.I believe this feature would be widely appreciated by the Instagram community and improve the overall user experience. Thank you for considering this suggestion.Sincerely,A dedicated Instagram user

Instagram is my all time favorite social app i use it everyday literally. There is a problem tho, The feature the i mostly use is story, i like to share what I'm doing atm and record videos, but sometimes those videos don't get posted. It does say "uploading" but after a few seconds it fails and there would be a red banner saying "failed. Try again" my wifi is good and my phone is fine. It used to happen rarely but now it's always happens and it's really frustrating cuz I recorded nice videos from the story and wanted to post it but they get deleted. Edit: It seems that not only me but alot of people are having some specific issues when it comes to story, like sound not working when adding a song, I also been through that. There is also an issue when you want to share a reel to your story it doesn't have sound and it lags a little but when the reel video replays it's fine. I've been using Instagram for a very long time specially the last 2 years i was constantly using it cuz ofc it's my favorite app and my favorite feature is story so I want it to work with no issues like ones i talked about.

Instagram seriously needs to address the current issues happening to users right now. Many accounts are getting suspended or disabled without clear explanations, and people who didn’t violate guidelines are struggling to recover their accounts. The appeal system feels slow and confusing, and some users are stuck waiting with no real updates or support.Using AI is very risky as it could mistaken for every small thing as a red flag and terminate peoples accounts by an accident and lose their accounts completely. Focus on the ones that are actually breaking the guidelines like the ones that promote porn, violence, cyber bullying, terrorism, etc. this is unacceptable as a lot of ppl use the platform for memories, entertainment activities, creativity, etc.There are also ongoing bugs with DMs, posts showing as unavailable, random login issues, and accounts being flagged unfairly. Users need better communication, faster support responses, and more transparency about why actions are being taken against accounts.Please fix these issues immediately and improve the support system if you want us to keep using this platform, because a lot of people are frustrated and worried about losing their accounts for no reason. I don’t wanna lose my account that literally has all the life and creativity I added there only to ban me by using AI When it could potentially and accidentally ban my account and others too.

I don't know how can one app be worse and worse every update. Things that I hate are the following: 1. If you leave the app more than 10 seconds you are returned to home page where all the suffering began with this app, and lose the account you have been browsing. 2. I think instagram thinks that your liked posts will harm you if you look at them so they are doing a very good job at hiding it. This has been going on for years (for me). Every time I know where to find them ther are like nope we are changing that. 3. When watching reels and i want to replay the video i go to the next and come back to the one I was watching like most of the apps, but apparently not insta. I try waiting a second or two in the new vid but still nothing. 4. The bar where you can forward the reel and rewind is so thin you have to be a 2D character to catch it and its not in all vids. 5. If I see a vid but its in the home page it doesn't replay on its own and you have to tab. We all know why so you would watch more reels bc insta is advertising those reels. It is so annoying!! Insta you will never be TIKTOK you are making the app worse and worse. For someone who has been using the app more than 10 YEARS you really are making it worse with every update. I hope my review will make the team think twice about the app.
