    Hey @instagram ~ no one wants to *discover people* on their personal #Instagram page. Fix your ****. It’s annoying.

    @TristanIsOnline I don't know what's been going on with them, worst part is they won't do anything to help recover it. I had to reach out to brian_cyber01 on Instagram to fix it when I got tired of waiting for them to disappoint me. You should reach out for real help

  • indigo_rex The Former Millennial Saint, Sir Alexander Savage (@indigo_rex) reported

    So y’all are having ANY issues uploading vids? Screen recordings upload but if it’s directly from my phone or through Instagram it won’t do it.

  • FinbyOasta FinbyOasta (@FinbyOasta) reported

    know if there's any glaring problems with its UI, but it and Instagram seem very content in staying on mobile. Especially as Instagram lacks an upload feature for the web app unless you change the browser to mobile view, which it should be a feature pre-built into the site itself

  • Semidey15 Semidey (@Semidey15) reported

    @Twistedglam_ @BrandoRoe @instagram Given that so many people faced the same issue and so did I then what was I supposed to assume.
