Lack of transparency

I am a single mom and struggling owner of a small business and Instagram continues to freeze my Instagram business account and not let me follow new potential customers even though I always chose the “tell us” if we made a mistake option. Things are not transparent and I have no idea of when I can and cannot follow new potential customers, send them messages or how many I am allowed to contact or send messages to. I don’t have a problem with rules and regulations but I just wish it was written somewhere so I would know and not have my small business affected tremendously every time I get blocked from my own account. I cannot find these rules written anywhere on Instagram terms and conditions. I think it is very sad that Instagram does not have a security system in place to check that I am the one using the account and therefore, not limit my chances to reach new potential customers who are willingly choosing to follow my small business page. I hope this issue can be improved ASAP by instagram so my business can have a fair chance to grow its number of followers. Why not charge a small fee to give me a fair chance so I can reach unlimited number of new followers who own “public” accounts. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Stay safe.

Frustrating New Update

The new update design is extremely frustrating for many reasons. First is the lack of originality: if I wanted to use tiktok, I would open tiktok. Second is the all black “immersive” display. I find it rather distracting to have the screen try to morph and fit all the many shapes of photo ratios & videos but all it does it create either unnecessary clutter on the screen or large dead spaces. There is also no way to access the stories anymore unless you are at the top of your feed or come across one of the “breaks” where they are offered.

Also, I prefer my phone in light mode as it is easier for me to read. With the new update, you can only read captions in white font overlayed on the post *after* clicking on them. I miss the continuous scroll feature and I miss how much easier the captions were to read on white. There’s also NO continuity between the black feed page and the rest of the pages which are still in white mode - it’s simply ugly. Finally, by removing the continuous scroll feature, it’s affected how videos play- they begin before I get to them and I do not have the ability to mute them anymore (which is very frustrating!).

I understand this was a rather long review, but I wanted to make my frustrations known in the hopes they will be legitimately considered. I’m disappointed in this update and in Instagram. I’ve found myself using Instagram less and less and I have a feeling that will remain the same if the update is permanent.

Love Instagram but…

I’ve been blessed with a black and white information bar that says couldn’t refresh feed for almost a week now and it is really frustrating and annoying and more stress I don’t need added onto my life right now. I’ve tried to uninstall the app and reinstalled it, logged back in, and it does the exact same thing pops the couldn’t refresh feed bar and keeps popping up until the current video has been completely loaded than it will go away. I’ve checked to see if the app is up to date and it is 100% up to date, I’ve checked my iPhone’s iOS system thinking that could be the culprit because it has been before in the past with other apps that acted up when it wasn’t up to date, but my iOS system is up to date. I’ve read it could be a poor internet or WiFi connection and that’s not true because my connection signal is pretty strong as I’m in the next room over from where the WiFi box is located and I receive a strong signal so it isn’t our WiFi connection. This is really frustrating and irritating and annoyance to me that it makes me so stressed out every time I go on Instagram and see that information bar there when it wasn’t there last month only recently. Please Instagram for the love of god fix this issue!! I’ve done everything I could on my end to fix it and nothing has changed. This is a bug on your end and it needs to be fixed pronto!

The Russian analogue of Instagram will appear in March.

What is known about him right now

Instagram has been blocked in Russia for several days now and every day there are fewer and fewer users who can access it freely via Wi-Fi or using a VPN. It seems that in a couple of days there will be no working VPN applications in our country, but this does not scare: Russia should have its own is an analogue of Instagram called Rossgram, about which the first details are already known. We tell you who is creating it, what functions the social network will have, when it will appear, and how you can test Rossgram one of the first.

An analogue of Instagram with the same functions will appear in Russia. We tell you what is known about Rossgram

Our Yandex.Zen is the most peaceful place in the world right now. Subscribe and read our exclusive articles, which are not on the site!

What is Rossgram

About social network Rossgram became known the day before, although, judging by the statements in VKontakte, it was developed in advance. It is also known that the application website appeared on March 14, the day Instagram was blocked. The creator of Rossgram is the entrepreneur Alexander Zobov , who claims to be a classmate of Pavel Durov . Zobov is a digital marketer with 15 years of experience at a British advertising agency and one of the founders of the Webcommunna barter network. Alexander Zobov creates Rossgram together with another entrepreneur Kirill Filimonov who develops children's football schools in Russia.

Rossgram has a modest site where you can leave an application for participation in testing

According to Alexander Zobov, Russian Instagram will have the same functions that we are used to, and the social network itself will be launched at the end of March for the first users, among which there will be top bloggers and simple lucky ones who left their application for Rossgram testing. For everyone else Russian analogue of Instagram will be available in April this year. By the way, Alexander Zobov noted that the application will have a function transferring data from Instagram : to do this, you need to request a file in Instagram Settings in JSON format, not HTML.

Read on the topic: Is it legal to use Instagram and Facebook after being blocked? In the morning it worked with errors - probably, many users found out about the new service, which led to its unstable operation. At the moment there are no problems and you can read the description of the analogue of Instagram. The appeal says that not only acquaintances will be in Rossgram Instagram features , but also additional monetization tools: paid access to content, a fundraising function and a referral program. By the way, the first ones who leave an application for participation in testing will receive additional privileges.

Rossgram will have the same functions as Instagram

Also, top bloggers with an audience of more than 100 thousand people and application partners will be able to get early access to Rossgram . In order for to become a partner of Rossgram , you need to click the "Partnership" button at the top of the page, enter your name, email address, phone number and select a role: information partner (for the media), sponsor or investor, and then click "Subscribe". The creator of Rossgram promised that the project partners will be able to get interesting conditions for advertising on the social network in the future. Rossgram also has its own Wikipedia page.

Be sure to subscribe to the "Ali Baba's Chest" Telegram channel: you can find hundreds of great products from our friends that are hard to find in stores!

How to download Rossgram

Rossgram should appear for everyone in April. We wait?

We're a little less than two weeks away from testing, but you can try your luck and submit your application to participate in testing and receive early access. Right on the site there is a form to fill out.
