Instagram: What Users Actually Complain About

Users frequently experience unjustified account suspensions without clear reasons or recourse.

“My account kept banning like the 5th time it's so exhausted to keep making a new account, I didn't do any violation”

“My account was suspended by mistake. I have always followed all community guidelines and haven't violated any policies.”

“too much restrictions as a kpop lover,ive reposted my favorite artists and they suspended my id”

Users struggle with login issues, identity verification, and retrieving suspended accounts.

“I hate Instagram selfie verification 2 years using Instagram but now I can't reply messages”

“horrible customer support i try to go get my old account back cause I got locked out”

“I can't retrieve my 2 accounts.”

The app suffers from various technical glitches, poor performance, and excessive battery drain.

“so many glitches”

“For some reason, drains 40%+ of my battery with 1hr 14m of usage on a new Pixel 10 Pro”

“it hangs on my pouvoir two air”

Users are frustrated with forced advertisements and intrusive ad experiences.

“I hate the forced advertisement that I must watch before scrolling my feed!”

“ad is very irritating me”

The platform's content discovery and algorithm create poor user experiences with repetitive content.

“Instagram epitomizes the dead internet theory - everything I see on the feed/reels is rehashed content”

“When I frequently send Reels to my own chat, it doesn't appear at the top of the share list”

“adding an option to block reels. People should be in control of what they consume”

Users have privacy concerns and feel the app is designed to be addictive and distracting.

“totally not respect user privacy”

“this is an time consuming app and distracts you alot so you could never focus on your work”
