Instagram 12+

I have two accounts for a reason; one for personal use and the other one for my business. Before it was very easy to hop between accounts and use them for different reasons as they have a different purpose. The new updates stops all of this! I had two accounts because I didn’t want my business followers to see my personal ‘stories’. I also followed different people on the two different accounts for a reason. I followed friends on my personal pages and work related accounts on my business page. This kept the two this separate. Now my personal page ‘stories’ are also posted to my business account due to the update. I don’t not want my business followers to see what I’m up to at the weekend or what I’m cooking etc! You may as well only let people have one account if the new update is going to show everything on both accounts. Another bad thing is the people I follow on both accounts are now merged/crammed into one feed and are all mixed up. I followed different people on the different accounts for a reason. Please fix this update as it stops me being able to use instagram for both reasons!

I always enjoyed using Instagram, for me it was a good platform to express my creativity until Instagram became bias and stopped giving everyone the same user experience. On my account, both personal and business I’m not able to edit my reels anymore, rearrange clips. I had this option for maybe a month and then it miraculously disappeared. I got excited thinking that’s a new feature I was always missing until I found out that some users / accounts were able to do that all along. It’s not giving every user equal opportunities so to speak. I don’t mind it becoming more of a video platform but the problem is that I can’t even edit my clips. I feel very limited and I think it’s just discrimination. Perhaps based on how many followers you have and etc. Why some users are able to have additional options and others don’t? It’s not a bug, or a phone and etc. I’ve updated my app, installed and uninstalled it, nothing’s changed. It all started with this whole ‘likes’ experiment. Some accounts were able to see likes some not and etc. Now they’re experimenting on people with reels. It’s beyond disappointing. If you want people to keep using it, more engagement then give everyone same tools. Otherwise everyone will move on to different apps and Instagram will be left with a limited amount of users and demographics.

Great app use it everyday. The public feed is terrible. I don’t like football. Yet my feed no matter how many times I click not interested or report it as I don’t like it or even as spam. It floods my feed. There’s nothing saved liked or sent to anyone that is in any way related to football so I don’t understand why my feed is flooded with football posts. This is not just football this is a number of things that appear on my feed for example mountain biking, cats, anime, SpongeBob. It’s like I’m being trolled by the algorithm. Get the message I don’t like these things and I DONT WANT THEM ON MY FEED. Until this is fixed it’ll remain one star. June 2022, The Feed or algorithm is completely broken, No matter how many times I click NOT INTERESTED or I don’t want reels from this account or I Don’t Like this it continues to flood my feed with these things, nothing a send, like or save has any correlation between these posts reels and videos that flood my feed. I DONT WANT CATS, Football, Animals of any kind, Children especially. It’s completely broken. Fix it please.

I had a perfect feed for a couple of weeks, just stuff I was interested in and it’s all gone, i just logged on and the feed is just full of generic stuff like when you first start Instagram. Just sort it out. Even if there’s an option to select categories you were interested in and you’d just see those things. Anything will be better than what it is now.
