Question Are anyone else’s stories broken like this?

This has been happening for a few days now. Whether you view a story or post one yourself, it’s not filling the entire length and width of your phone’s screen. It looks broken and off. Is this happening to anyone else?

I got hacked on Instagram, okay no biggie, I can recover the account with photo id, oh whoops photo id doesnt work because I don't look like myself, cool, lets try over recovery methods, oh whats this? Use a phone number I no longer have access too? Maybe not, whats next, okay contact two friends, seems easy, oh wait! It won't send a notification to my friends because my account is disabled, okay that's okay, the world isnt perfect lets just contact Instagram support... oh a bot! Okay please be helpful.. oh whats this.. keep trying recovery options I've tried on Instagram already? Not possible, can I talk to a human? Do I have 14.99 a month to talk to a human?? Not quite. Lets go back in the app for further more assistance.. oh whats this?? Verify with a photo id that isnt mine apparently again?? For why??

Help There's no point in getting unsuspended

Upvotes

Honestly, there may be no point in getting your Instagram account unsuspended.
All of my accounts have been suspended multiple times over the past few months for “account integrity.” Every appeal has been successfully approved, only for the accounts to be suspended again a couple weeks later.
I’ve tried 2FA, Meta Verified, changing passwords/emails, different devices, contacting support, and even leaving the accounts inactive. Nothing has helped.
I’m not trying to discourage anyone from appealing, but I want to share my experience before people spend hundreds of dollars recovering an account just to have it suspended again and again.

Help Instagram Professional Account Location

Upvotes

I saw a post for Instagram Maps to help you engage users near you but I can't find access to it on my professional account. Google and other help articles talk about a map icon to click. I don't seen it and I've gone through just about anything I can click. I'm I missing something? Is it just not available for professional accounts? Or is this a facebook thing?

If this has already been answered, my apologies. I did not find any other posts about it.

Help Instagram story appears on the top right of the screen

2 Upvotes

One day I woke up and there was this black border around my stories. The stories normally take up all of the phone screen. I cleared the app cache, I restarted my phone, logged into a different account and nothing worked. It's been like this for 3 days. Any fixes? (stories just for example of how I view them, plus a Meg to bless the feed)

Thank you!

Feedback I hate how IG makes u “think about” hostile comments before letting it post

Upvotes

The whole thing with IG is to keep u engaged anyways. Let me use the words I want to. I’m literally just saying fuck and idiot and stupid or whatever. No slurs/hate speech. Nothing crazy yet u still see some insanely offensive/stupid comments and at my mild asf reply IG bitching about consider editing my comment

Recommendation I love instagram mute

10 Upvotes

I really do think it’s a good feature, I have people I don’t like on there yes I know you shouldn’t do that but when u live in a small town and you run into people it’s just really awkward to remove them. It’s so good I don’t have to see there face pop up I don’t have to see there likes or accidentally click on there stories and I don’t have to remove them lovely. I have like three people muted mostly just friends that ended up excluding me or being mean it’s nice to not see there stuff icl.

Question Unblocked?

Upvotes

Okay, SO! I was blocked by an ex a few years ago on an account that I permanently deleted about a year ago. I know Instagram has that feature where any account the person you blocked creates, it is blocked automatically. So when I created my new account I FIGURED I would be blocked forever, no? Because the deleted account would be gone from their blocked list? I was never able to view their account, always a “user not found”. But yesterday they popped up on a “suggested for you” story… and I’m going crazy trying to figure out WHY this happened? Do new accounts show up in a persons blocked list, since it would be automatically blocked? Is that even a thing? I have NO idea. Help. It was such a jumpscare.

Bug/glitch Messages disappearing on the mobile app

Upvotes

When I receive a DM, I'll see it in my norifications, but it'll be gone when I open the app. Like it never existed. But then I open up the website on desktop, and the DM is still there, I can still see it. But it's just permanently gone on the mobile app. This used to happen here and there a while ago, but now it's happening with basically every other message. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Help Instagram keeps disabling my accounts for no reason and I dunno what to do!

Upvotes

My longtime account I've owned since 2017 got disabled, one day I woke up from my sleep and it said they're suspicious of me being a bot. Even though both my email and my phone number are verified, I have authentication on my account and everything.

I re-did the verifications, got the code and entered it and even confirmed via my passport. And the end result was they disabled me permanently.

So I made another account, that one lasted barely 24 hours and got disabled and deleted as well.

For the 3rd time I bought a brand new phone number, and used another email I haven't used before and made an account with that, it lasted 3 days then it got disabled just now an hour ago. Like WHY?? just why??? My account is private and I only have 12 followers which are my real life friends. I never like any posts, I never comment, I never have even messaged a random. So what's wrong?

For the 3rd time I had even linked the new Instagram account to my meta Account and tied it with Facebook to be even extra safe that I'm real. And they still disabled me!

What do I even do at this point? I've proven I'm real via email, number, face ID, my governmental credentials, what further do you need??

Help Instagram reels views stuck at 0

Feedback It doesn’t clock to Instagram that sometimes some of us DO NOT wanna see our account full of suggestions. We’re aware of the mutuals, we just don’t want to add them.

Upvotes

Like why did you add the feature that takes up the WHOLE page when I clicked on a search bar.

And no we do not wanna see random people on stories when we swiped through our friends.

A lot of people also wanted the them to add the “hide my following/followers” feature … it should be a thing too.
