Mostly solid but some hiccups
I've been using Instagram for years to promote my photography, and it's great for reaching new audiences. However, the recent changes to the algorithm have made it harder for my posts to get seen unless I pay for ads. I also had trouble with the verification process, it took several weeks and multiple tries. The live video feature is pretty smooth though, and I've gained some good followers from it.

Good features, minor glitches
I like the new Reels update a lot, it makes creating content way easier. Sometimes the app crashes when I try to upload multiple photos, which is kinda frustrating. But the engagement tools are really helpful for my small business.

Smooth interface but algorithm quirks
Using Instagram for my photography portfolio has been mostly smooth. I appreciate how easy it is to schedule posts and engage with followers. However, sometimes my posts don’t get the reach I expect, which can be frustrating after putting effort into content.

Mostly good but ads are overwhelming
I really enjoy posting my artwork and connecting with other creatives here. However, the increase in ads lately has been kind of distracting, especially during stories. It takes away from the experience a bit. Customer support was helpful when I had a login issue, but I wish they’d do more to reduce spam accounts.
