It won't post I don't know what's wrong but it just won't post any photo or video. Even small size photos. And my internet connection is good and fast and I tried different wifi servers in different places everything on my phone is doing fine except instagram. I can also see updates from other people including videos and there's no problem at all. BUT I CAN NOT POST ANYTHING !!! I tried sending a message to the help center and I got no reply :) it's been 10 days now since my problem started.

Good but... Even after resizing an image to the specifications mentioned on IG website for portrait/vertical pictures it will not allow me to post the whole image. Yes I've sized it correctly, even tried smaller sizes. Yet still when I pinch to fit it how I want, with a vertical image, I am forced to still trim off either part of the top or the bottom or both, which ruins my composition at times. Will give five stars when this is no longer the case.

HELP! When people report a account I think instead you should be able to write a description on why ur blocking the account and then Instagram looks at the description to make sure it's block worthy also there's been a lot of hacking and I had to change my password 17 times plz help some of my accounts are locked. Also i want my feed in time order, its really cringy when its not

Love it The connects you make & the things you can learn & the info you can disperse in small creative posts is such a wonderful tool. Love being able to keep up contact & teach my children interesting things when I'm away too. Thank you! Only took off one star bc the camera is not nearly as good as the phone camera itself, but no biggie!

What is with the new explore feed? Most of my time on Instagram, I go on my explore feed so I can see new stuff from my interests. But I care what I like, not what everybody in my country likes. I don't care about Halloween parties, sports, etc. And it shows in like 99% of the whole explore feed. Making me press "See fewer posts like this" every 5 seconds. Can you go back to the old explore feed when it shows about what you like?

I hope you'll add a feature wherein we get to see which pages we have turned on notifications from. Also nice would be a feed with our liked pictures, and pages where we commented in. I am kinda new to IG and if ever these features are already existing, I hope somebody can enlighten me. PS: I also hope you add another separate feed for the posts of the pages we have turned on notifications from. They just get lost as the next notification replaces the previous one (in Android).

Lagging badly This apps seems to be the great apps before it started to sign out itself and I can't share my photos anymore. Whenever I want to post my photo it will stuck and my phone will shutdown suddenly. Please fix this problems ASAP. *I've tried to sign in on the other devices but the result are just the same. 😑
App keeps force closing Help! As I try and upload a video or photo, it suddenly kicks me off of the app. Please fix this or help me out! I need to talk to my friends on here. I have to tell them to go on my other social media or give them my number till this gets fixed... I'm getting sick and tired of this app force closing...
Want the chronological feed back The timeline you use is a big issue. I like the old way of viewing post in chronological order this new way sucks I'm always missing posts and not getting NEARLY as much likes as before. You should at least give us the option to choose how we want our feed displayed. PLEASE MAKE IT THE WAY IT USED TO BE!
*Blocked_my_likes* Hey! I was just liking my friends picture.. and after that i got a pop up box that i am temporarily blocked i mean seriously! Please i like liking pictures and everything.. but i am unable to like them.. please do something my account name : shefali_m96 !! Till then i'll give 2 stars!
Loved it It's so fun I love it so yeah!😇😇😇😊😉post your pics private accounts. But lately I got hacked and I couldn't make a new acount and it said I have been blocked from Instagram and it's been a month so I'm gonna see if it works I'm reinstalling it so if I can make a new acount then all say if it work or not
I would give it 0 stars if I could! Suck a giant company not being able to make the app as good as on iOS for so long is a SHAME! Uploading video from my gallery to My stories makes the quality of the video so bad it's disgusting! Used to be an iPhone user and never had such a problem! Now it makes me use less the app... So bad!
My friends stories are not showing to me. Suddenly the stories of all my friends are stopped showing. It just showing black screen whenever i open the story of any one.. I have uninstall and reinstall it again but the problem persists. BTW i am the user of Samsung Alpha.. Kindly fix the issue.. 😑
Inconsistent I have two instagram accounts on the same device. One still has the map feature and a new profile design, the other (my main one) seems to be the old profile with no map and different colours to the other. It sucks. I also still can't zoom. Really want the map feature back on my main account.
Ugh I'm disappointed to say the least in how my feed has changed. Things used to show up in order, but now it's more like Facebook where I see things from two days ago pop up immediately. Why is that? Why can't things be shown in the order they were posted? I am not at all happy with this version of instagram...
Explore tab sucks. Before this update, your explore page showed images based on your likes or what the people you follow like and I would browse through it frequently. After this update, all I have are Kardashian related accounts, a ton of sports accounts, models, and companies. -_- There's nothing based on my likes nor the people I follow. I follow many artists and animal accounts so why am I getting things I don't like? It's pretty lame. It works otherwise but the explore page isn't great.
What's happen to this app i can't mention anyone lots of people commented on my pic.s and i can't reply to thier comm.s pliiiiiiiiiiiz fix this problem as soon as possible 😓😓😓 + every period of time such as few days they logged me out of my acc. I have 3 acc.s on insta. I can't point the reasons..etc. 😷😷
Can't arrange by date and time Much like facebooks very irritating algorithms of 'top stories' Instagram now does this, with no options to arrange by most recent. Now the smaller accounts you follow will be lost, whilst the big companies posts from 5 days ago is top.
Declining No videos are working since the most recent update. Also, being signed in to two different accounts will constantly kick me off of one - when I log back in, it'll kick me off the other one. It's been happening for over a month now. Lastly, I liked chronological order way better, I was hoping with the popular order update we would at least be able to select how we want to see posts!
Update broke it Ever since the recent update, every time I try to comment I get, "Instagram seems to be having problems right now. Please try again in a few moments." I've cleared cache and data, not really sure what else to do... please fix :( *edit* so now after another update, not only can I not comment on anything but my descriptions are completely erased once I hit "share." Come on Instagram, you're basically my life here 😭😭😭
You Should Be Using This App I would recommend any user who hasn't used it yet to go for it, because not only is this app awesome, but it will change the way you think about photography in general. And it just keeps getting better and better the more you use it!
Great... Except. Review Update 31/10/16 As I previously pointed out (below) tilt shift will not work. You have released 2 or 3 updates since and niether have included this fix. Always use the app and it never fails me however; Tilt Shift will not work on my Samsung Galaxy S6 and it's frustrating. If I have tried to use it on one of my photos it will put a blurred square in the top right corner of the pic. It doesn't matter which shift I use. Please fix😎 Thanks.
Unable to 'zoom in' on posted images! How odd. One of the basics one expects to have. Why does Instagram ALWAYS (unless I'm missing something?) CROP uploaded images, as opposed to uploading the image FULLY and then letting the viewer (owner) crop/adjust image. So annoying. PLEASE sort out the cropping issue! Instagram FAIL
Shows oldest pics first when you go to upload Have to scroll through thousands of pictures to find Mt most recent since you switched it to show the oldest first...idiots.oh, and you messed up the messages with the recent update, can no longer see time stamps
Support 4multiple accounts is lacking I run 3 different accounts on the app, and I constantly (once a week at least) get one or two of them logged out of the app. The notification windows claims that the user (me) probably changed password 😲 when, obviously, that is not possible since I AM THE USER. Update. The issue has not improved for the last update
Two Things Please bring back the copy function. I miss it! Also, who was so boozed up that came up with the brilliant idea that your stupid algorithm was best for us. Everyone HATES it. Please restore chronological order. Take a poll. Give us what we want! Don't be stubborn jackasses. You tried it, we hate it.
HELP my account Avia1k got hacked and deleted. I made a new account with the same name but please help me get my old account.Because of this I don't like Instagram anymore❤Please I really love this app dont make me hate it
My social media I have stopped using most other social media, #Instagram is my favorite! Despite being an amateur, I live and breath photography. I love the idea of sharing images rather than solely thoughts. A picture is truly worth 1000 words. Instagram is also very user friendly and I have not had any issues.
Wtf HORRIBLE CUSTUMER SERVICE NOT HELPING WITH MY PROBLEM. ITS NOT POSTING MY VIDEOS ON ONE OF MY ACCOUNTS BUT IT WILL ON THE OTHER PLEASEE HELP THIS IS FUSTRATING AND INSTAGRAM SEEMS NOT TO CARE
Is it R18 ?Why is there no way to contact? This is becoming a joke a bad one Get banned for reposting things asked to be shared ..and get deactivated. And yet this site is full of Naked images . Please explain!.!
Wtf When I connect to WiFi or even on data service it doesn't play videos it just puts the replay button over and over again this needs to be fixed or im uninstalling. Its not compatible with my phone but that shouldnt be a problem cause the app should work will all phones and mine isnt a super old version. Plus i have all the updates im uninstalling if the problem isnt fixed. I updated it again and today AND NOW NOTHING PLAYS WTF FIX THIS Or I UNINSTALlL UPDATE:THANKS FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM
Used to like it much better The new algorithmical feed really put a damper on my experience. At first, I thought it was some kind of bug, but after reading a few reviews, it seems that this is not the case. For me, the reverse chronological feed makes much more sense. Now, I am not able to know if I missed any posts without directly visiting the profile, since there is no way to know if a newer post is just way further down. Please, at least provide the users with an option to opt out of the algorithmical feed.
Missing tons of posts; video errors New algorithm feed doesn't show a lot of posts from those I'm following. Not even an option to revert back to chronological order. Video playback issues on random videos at random times.
Chronological feed please Bring back chronological feed. Its as simple as. Random order benefits no one - the claims that 'people miss 70% of posts' is completely bogus, and is actually more true now as a result of the algorithmic randomised feed. It is very hard to tell which posts I've already seen, because nothing is in order. It is a complete logical contradiction for an app called "INSTAgram" to not even show instantly posted images any more.
Best social media app I always use this app to share my day with people. But since it taken by Facebook, it got so many problem. Before I update it, it crash a lot of times. The popup really annoys me. But now, there isn't. So I hope it won't happen again because I hate it. I always use this app. So please, don't have any problem.
Problem in tagging It's very sad that I have to change the stars which I gave to instagram app ... n now it's less ...... my problem is that I'm not able to tag my post pic to a particular friend since week .. in between it got tagged just 2-3 times that's all ..... I don't wanna disclose the name ... n let me clear one more thing that he didn't blocked me coz I'm able to see his post n profile pic ..... hope u will reply back n help me out .... it's a request that please fix this problem.. it's a request .. don't irritate😔
Help please i love this app I can't load any pictures/videos, but the comment can. All my other online apps work very fine, I've tried reinstall instagram so many times.. Any solution? Thank you
Still the same issues I don't get it. You guys made it so the user can switch accounts easily. That's cool and all. But it's kind of useless when it just automatically logs you out of one of the accounts saying "the user has changed the password". This is an ongoing issue, that I have yet to see a fix for.
Almost perfect For no apparent reason, if you follow an account, Instagram refuses to show you everything that account posts. They use an algorithm to delete things the program decides you don't want (even though you clicked a button that says you want it!). This app would be perfect if it wasn't for that--I love how quickly and easily it lets me view art and photos around the world.
Its awesome but... IT'S AMAZING yes but there are a few flaws here and there especially that you can't crop a picture right from the conversation view (Instagram if you see this please change it)... or if you could choose between private, semi private and public and chose which posts go where
