Users frustrated by frequent updates that change the interface back and forth, making it hard to get used to the app.

“Always changing back and forth, make up your mind — This app always have new updates and change back and forth. Just when you’re getting used to it, it changes again and never keeps the same. They’re not even good updates or user-friendly changes. For example the ones I hate the most is changing back and forth the formatting function that lets you post different pictures formats in the same post. I loved having…” — ★☆☆☆☆“Less functional by the day — Far too many ads, surprisingly hard to actually see the content by people I follow. Very little visibility for art.

Random account bans have gotten out of control. Many people’s accounts are being disabled without any clear reason.

Useful features removed without alternative options

Users complain that Instagram removes helpful features like alphabetized lists and offers no way to toggle off unwanted new features.

“Bad — I feel like they regularly add features the users hate, and refuse to offer alternatives or a way to toggle that feature off. Have an option to permanently disable posts from people you arent following from your feed Have an option to hide the repost button - too easy to accidentally press An option to disable infinite scroll / ai content would be nice, but i figure they profit too much from slop and social…” — ★★☆☆☆“posthaste — you fixed my collections, thank you, but i still need my ability to put photos in comment sections back” — ★★☆☆☆“Why are the lists no longer alphabetized‼️⁉️❓‼️ — At what point did someone in programming and tech decide that TAKING AWAY alphabetized lists and folders was a good idea. Who thought that would make any sense or improve the user experience? It did NOT. It actually made absolutely ZERO sense AND makes the ENTIRE app HARDER and MORE FRUSTRATING to use.” — ★★☆☆☆

“Spielplatz für Gewaltvideos — Ich habe diverse Videos eines bestimmten Kanals gemeldet, in denen Mädchen und andere Menschen bewusstlos geschlagen werden. Antwort: Inhalt nicht gelöscht.

Es fehlt die Funktion den ganzen Kanal zu melden.” — ★☆☆☆☆“Gewalt an Tieren? — Instagram lässt offenbar Videos stehen, die den begründeten Verdacht auf inszenierte Tierquälerei erwecken. Tiere werden scheinbar schwer verletzt, gequält oder in lebensgefährliche Situationen gebracht und anschließend vor laufender Kamera „gerettet“. Die immer gleichen Abläufe und die plötzlich sichtbare Genesung lassen diesen sogenannten Rettungsaktionen äußerst unglaubwürdig erscheinen. Trotz…” — ★☆☆☆☆“Sexistische Accounts — Täglich schauen bei mir 10-20 sexistische spam Accounts. Das isr seit Jahren schon ein gewaltiges Problem.

“Furchtbar!!! — App stürzt die ganze Zeit ab, wenn man Story-Entwurf bearbeiten will. Sticker , die man verschieben will, hängen teilweise fest oder werden in den Löschenberejch „gezogen“, der unpassender nicht positioniert sein könnte!!!! Es macht langsam null Spaß mehr eine Story zu erstellen!!!” — ★☆☆☆☆“Storys laden nicht — Die Storys von Freunden laden nicht mehr. Wenn man nach rechts wischt, um sich mehr Storys von seinen abonnierten Kanälen ansehen möchte, lädt die App nur, und zeigt nichts weiteres außer das kleine Rädchen an.” — ★☆☆☆☆“Bugs iOS — Die App hat unglaublich viele Bugs – eigentlich zu viele, um sie alle aufzuzählen. Ein besonders störender Fehler betrifft die Aufnahme von Storys: Wenn ich den Aufnahmebutton gedrückt halte, um ein Video aufzunehmen, wird teilweise nur ein Foto aufgenommen. Auch die Einhand-Aufnahme funktioniert nicht zuverlässig. Wenn ich diese Option auswähle und ein Video starte, lässt sich die Aufnahme anschließend…” — ★☆☆☆☆

Reviews are grouped one storefront at a time, so each storefront words its complaints separately. Two are added together here when they carry the same name, or when their wordings share half their meaningful words — one fixed rule, applied the same way to every app, and the reviews under each complaint are there to check it against. Where it is close but not certain the two stay apart, so this under-joins rather than over-joins.
