“It made targeted marketing more easy”

Rida R.

Instagram for business is the best social media platform for me I personally really like because it is not just for sharing pictures,reels and stories but also I am working most of the time to promote the businesses and increase the sales. I run paid ads on Instagram see the insights of progress of that ad and the most important and great feature of Instagram business is that it allow us to targeted audience for our product and services as a result we get more sales so that is the most favourite thing which I like in this platform.

“Wanted to like”

Zeida R.

Went for a touch up and cut. Cut uneven, Touchup too dark and not matched my color. I told owner and person doing my hair. A day later after friends commented how badly my hair looked I called to speak to her, employees refused to let me talk to her. I texted this woman and she could not even call back. I just wanted it fixed. I paid 100.00 for a procedure that left me depressed and looking horrific. An owner that can not return a simple call and fix an issue that would probably take 10 minutes, is not concerned about customer retention. I traveled from NY to NJ in my daughters recommendation because she, so far has been satisfied with service by the owner. I was having surgery and they refused to accommodate me. Very disappointed. The root touch up lasted: weeks, I could have used same Target product and find it myself for 18.00.

Tip for consumers:
Could not have anyone care enough to return calls or texts. My hair looks horrific and friends have noticed and it’s been stressful. And depressing. I only wanted to speak to owner

Instagram are cowards. They hate pages that disagree with them politically or on moral issues and WRONGFULLY delete comments as SPAM when they are never violating their Community Guidelines.

Appeals button is a middle finger. Then they censor you from speaking for 24 hrs for "their definition" of "crimes" committed. They biasly cast sentence based on prejudice paranoia.

Their needs to be laws set in play for digital harassment by the makers of the app.

1 star, the Z's need to apologize for their violations.

A scammer cloned my account with my own screen name with "_" added at the end. This was YEARS ago. I've had everyone I know report it to get it down, I've reported it MULTIPLE times, I've tried everything to get it down. I have young children and work for the state that I live in. I do not want something like that out there tricking people in to thinking I'm doing sex work. It should be ILLEGAL to allow this. Instagram also allows violent videos of murder, child pornography and pedophiles to thrive on their platform. They don't care as long as they're making their ad revenue. It's absolutely disgusting.

Posts go nowhere. And even if it sez your photo is shared, it is not shared. See a hashtag that several days ago had content from more than one small business. After I upkoaded my photo to this hashtab, all of the content disappeared. See my screengrab.

Well, when you think about a social network, you usually imagine accessing it to see friends' photos, interact with them, or even to reach more clients. However, over the past few years, I've noticed that I spend more time dealing with Instagram's "bugs" than actually enjoying the platform. There are so many bugs that you can find thousands of articles and videos online teaching how to work around them.

Instagram had everything to be a perfect social network, but unfortunately, that's not what we've been seeing. If you look at the comments on the Play Store, you'll see that the problems are only increasing. It almost seems like META's goal is to drive Instagram into the ground, given the number of unresolved bugs and issues. It's hard to believe they really want to keep the social network as one of the most popular, if it still is.

Me and thousands of other users have faced various issues, like distorted audio when posting something, images losing quality, distorted audio during live streams, videos that just disappear, and even the risk of being blocked when trying to remove old contacts. Instagram has the bad habit of blocking users for trivial reasons but can't seem to block unwanted activities like spam.

I'm currently locked out of my *******@jeanpassosPV2024 and can't recover it because I forgot the password. When I click on "Forgot my password," I receive a link that, believe it or not, directs me to a page asking for the old password that I forgot! There's no support available, and the problem is that I have photos I'd like to delete because they make me uncomfortable and embarrassed.

Every day, there are updates for Instagram that, instead of fixing the problems, only increase the app's size on devices. If the intention is to drive users away, they're on the right track!

Tip for consumers:
I'm losing clients and money due to the lack of support.

I see women post half naked photos on Instagram and as soon as I say something it gets removed? Like there was a girl that posted a coochie pic with 1500 likes and as soon as I posted "gross" it got removed for "harassment" like these nasty women can post naked pics but as soon as I say it's disgusting I get sensored?

Instagram is very blatantly censoring voices for the palestinian cause. 100s of 1000s of people have complained about it. It's been 3 weeks since i csn comment like follow or unfollow people without warning on both my original page and my palestine cause page. It was done within a week of me supporting the cause, they are forcing their views and opinions onto the people who use the platform. It is incredibly insane to see especially since we don't live in israel and we can criticize and decide what cause we want to defend ourselves z

I use this app for business and helping people in my community with their questions. It seems anytime I try to comment to help people ig removes them as spam. I can't even comment on my wife's posts. I am just going to go to yourube where I can actually leave comments for people. Ig sucks

Any comment is marked as spam. Reporting racist comments against white people somehow isn't spam and is ok. Another trash liberal agenda company

Found multiple posts that promote violence and drug use I tried notifying customer service or report a problem and they banned me for it, multiple people post comments about such things nothing happens to them, I post comment saying anything longer than 2 lines gets flagged for spam when there is no links in the comments no advertisements but i still get banned, this link shows all my evidence. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0JTtaqY5n337x7dTPZiPb8XpZ9vwGtEym2VxgmiaBbmsF7XVnabZiDFt4vcyYoiiGl&id=**************&mibextid=cr9u03

It allows CP, allows bullying and usually prefers perpetrators content, it shadows news about Gaza. The owners are generally evil selfish people.

It literally became the most important social media app or a general app in a lot of the first world countries. It is amazing to see how an app can have so much weighing in people's lives.

I love using Instagram to discover new things that I didn't know existed. I have a lot of unique items that I own because of discovery on Instagram and things still on my want list.

I also love using it to see pictures of cute animals, cool places to visit and even just seeing all things cute, something I love more than anything.

But...here are the things I find highly annoying about Instagram.

First of all, when I first signed up back in 2020. My account got flagged for suspicious activity. First of all, I did not know what I did wrong, which is highly irritating.

Just recently with my new updated account (I had several in the past and stopped using them because I couldn't keep up) besides the point, I was leaving a company that was very supportive and helpful to me, a kind message thanking them for their support.

Instagram had the nerve to flag my message calling it a violation for trying to receive likes. First of all, this is untrue and very far from my intention. I wanted to let the company that was helpful to me, know that I appreciated their support.

Things like that are super frustrating and annoying. For one, if you break community guidelines you can get your account shut down. I do not want my account to get shut down when I have done nothing wrong. It would be different if I went on the account to do nonlegitimate actions. I am not doing such a thing, I mind my own business, do my thing, and compliment and say nice things to other people's posts.

Instagram needs to fix its violation system because I looked at their community guidelines and what they had listed, I did not do any of it.

As I mentioned, it is irritating and frustrating to get your account deleted by Instagram when you know you did nothing.

Instagram and Facebook are the worlds largest scam companies. They've made several false invoices claiming my account owes them money for advertisement promotion. I have NEVER requested promo from neither Instagram or Facebook, nor have they ever promoted my page or posts. They don't even allow me to reach more than 20 people when I post a pic or story, yet alone promote me. This is the biggest scam company in the world right now.

I admit I am baffled about how this website is popular. Possibly just meta (met a) and historic (people are used to it). People may use this website because they don't realise how bad it is

To anyone who uploads content - to let you know meta have removed the search facility. That means any hashtags you use, don't mean anything, your content cannot be found because there is no search feature, you're shouting into the void

The user interface is the worst possible thing you can imagine. No search, no next page. Since no one can find your content, your photo album is essentially private. No one can find your content because they removed the search feature, which to be honest was always awful, but barely functional

Quick, tiktok is doing something. We need to copy it. My names zuckerberg and I have no business plan
