I really love IG. And I’d never to give a review until now to express how I really feel about it. I’ve never been a content creator but sharing my pictures with the world and sharing my life was pretty enticing to not be on such a platform and from its inception everything has been great. Well everything might be a bit exaggerated. Because for the longest time Instagram has had the worst pet peeve of all social media apps: and that’s the video editing as you prepare to upload/post your content. For instance the stories posting function is the worst to use. You can’t seem to pin point exactly where you want to trim. And this is time consuming for someone if they have to figure it out for hours or spend time editing in the native video editor. Granted it gets the job done. But if we’re being honest, efficiency is the currency of all digital consumption. And not being able to edit exclusively in the stories panel (amongst others) is not efficient in any way. And it’s annoying.

I love this app neh but oh my gosh does it grind my teeth every year. Firstly I’d like to address the current issue I’ve noticed, I haven’t been one to post much on my actual feed that stay on my grid but I’ve been doing it a lot more often now since 2022 and I’ve noticed Instagram change the colour grading of my posts and everyone else’s actually. Posting a completely different more often than not “ugly and dull” version of the actual picture even though my settings are setup to post the highest quality photos. Something as big as Meta should be able tot keep up with the digital needs imposed by continuously updated phone technology if it so happens that it’s a way to compress images. STOP IT. FIX IT. Because it becomes so demotivating spending your time curating certain things and when you post it’s completely trashed. And that thing where drafts from your reels just disappear regardless of how much space I have on my phone (especially because I always have it) needs to be FIXED as well because again you might spend so much time editing a reel that you either plan to post at a certain time or it still needs a little touching up and you go back and it’s completely gone but other Reel drafts are still there it’s extremely frustrating and demotivating, PLEASE FIX IT and stop adding unnecessary features like I don’t remember anyone asking for a reshare button like our stories don’t work. Supply and demand okes, let’s please NOT prioritise monetary value over customer satisfaction.

Instagram limits your accounts from doing things too often to protect the community, I understand that completely and the investigation of your account usually takes 24-48 hours for me it's been more than that I haven't been able to follow anyone for over 2 days imagine how many followers l'm losing because of a technical issue I can't control and It's actually crazy how many people I found who have had the same issue in the past, is this what Instagram is good for? I can't believe it do you know how many accounts have been deactivated all because of a technical issue within the app, l've never had a problem with Instagram but this is just madness, I haven't been able to follow anyone in more than 2 days do you realise how stupid that sounds because TikTok doesn't have any of these issues, l'm not going to delete the app, I worked hard to develop a decent following and I'm not letting all that go because of a technical issue I clearly can not do anything about other than wait, even if I wait weeks I'll keep my account and this goes to show everyone how bad this app really is I get that its trying to protect the community, but every source confirms that when your account is being investigated the waiting period to get the ban lifted is 24-48 hours and it's been longer than that, that already spells so much inconvenience, I want instagram to know that I think their app is shxt and I hate it I have a contract and the is to gain followers but no instagram has there way I hate it am going to sue it
