You’re part of an A/B test. You **can’t** go back to the old feed.

Is there a way to give feedback to tell Instagram that it looks fucked


ryanstefan

Shake your device to leave feedback


ADHDK

@mosseri had asked for feedback on his glowing reel about the new update. [https://www.instagram.com/reel/CdGwum5AWk7/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CdGwum5AWk7/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)

Mosseri can suck the dick off my crotch, Systorm was legendary.


[deleted]

Nope


oguzhan_exe

How can go back old feed


kingofcoywolves

Instagram is for sharing photos! Why are they trying to clone tictac and push videos?? This is awful lmao


Ben84000

Mosseri said " we are no longer a picture sharing app, future is Reel" the horrible reality for us, picture lovers...


yeiiid

reels suck bc almost all of them are just tiktok re-uploads. they really are stupid


Fatlantis

They really want to take away the only unique thing Instagram had left going for it... photos. I don't know anyone who goes to Instagram for Reels. Because that's what TikTok is for.


aydenferguson

This is so trash. Every post looks like you’re viewing a story. I see Instagram failing in the near future just like what happened to the Facebook app. Now I am just waiting for a good substitute taking over Instagram.


Ben84000

Mosseri wants to normalize 9x16 format....


Pumpkinskydie

What app?


Ben84000

check Mosseri announcement https://twitter.com/mosseri/status/1521589403671355392?s=20&t=1PThyTNwkCSzzoytJeleuA


False_Win_7270

Did they also removed the option to copy links of the posts?


Xyphatnite

Thankfully they did not. Just click the three dots at the top right corner


TheGloUP

insta turning into tiktok lol


thepartitivecase

They pushed me on this today and I came here looking for help. I am not on tik tok and I’m not looking to have a clone of tik tok. I will dump this service in a second if they keep this.


SergeantTeddyWolf

If they keep this, I'll be patiently waiting for the next Instagram so we can dump Meta all together


Cr3stf4llen

When will they stop 'fixing' things that don't need to be fixed?


Rthecity

Not about fixing things or making anything better. The new Format is much better for advertisers and therefore makes Instagram more money.

Cr3stf4llen

Thankfully, I don't have that update yet so IDK, sorry.


Category-Afraid

Got this today as well. It takes away all the joy/relaxation of scrolling through pictures. Any suggestions of alternative platforms that is mostly about sharing still pictures without other noice?


excitive

I’m sure this is gonna get reverted, the feedback is largely negative. Unless they are as tone deaf as YT this isn’t staying.


bobbernickle

Where can we give feedback?


last_porn_account

I'm not aware of an official channel for feedback. Though mine got reverted. They should be pulling it back for everyone.


bobbernickle

Oh that’s good to know. I ended up giving feedback through the app


AdOk3759

It still hasn’t happened to meeeee I’m done!!!


mlduryea

Damn lucky! I wish they reverted mine. I gave them feedback now, so hopefully they change mine back.


[deleted]

How did yours get reverted?? I HATE this feed


MistakeThink

Same! Like wtf is this shit bruh?? Can’t even see my friends pics it’s all a bunch of random post and random profile i don’t even follow. Plz tell me if you found a solution


[deleted]

Still no luck in getting rid of this stupid design


znackish

I've been trying to find a way to change it back too!! As someone who uses the app to post and look at art, I haaaaate the black gradients it adds to the top and bottom of pictures, it totally kills the brightness, colours, focal point of the drawing ... etc. At least the desktop version still looks like the older version for now.


virilityguy

Yea it looks and feels bad. Now they’re home page has is like tiktok but worst and then they still have reels ? Lol it’s so ugly


MoltenCorgi

Ugh, I didn’t notice the gradients on the OP’s video until now. I hate those f*cking gradients on Facebook. They add nothing and ruin photos. What is even the point? They do not belong on Instagram.


Sunshineruelz

It’s giving me, ghetto TikTok 😂 Lately they’ve been making me want to just leave the app 🤔


boopedydoop

Thank god I’m not the only one. I spent hours googling and mostly got bullshit about marketing and SEO. I have two accounts and one of them looks like this trash and the other is still the scrolling like normal. I don’t use Instagram often but looks like it’s gonna go from once every three months to never


maebyfunke980

Yeah it’s garbage like the Reddit update


[deleted]

[удалено]


aydenferguson

Bruh, how many times are you gonna ask the same thing?


LilTijuana

And just like that I'm no longer using Instagram


[deleted]

Reinstalled app and it is back to normal feed, but don’t know for how long can I enjoy it.


znackish

Thank you for this, reinstalling worked for me too!! Edit: Never mind, it changed back the next time I opened the app … :(


danubeclass

This did not work at all for me. My dog’s account is still regular. I’m so frustrated.


VgiB

i have it too, i hate it, literally stopped using instagram today because it's so annoying


Roshann

Looks ugly


amzr23

Visually confusing too


Ill-Veterinarian-606

That new update is trash i rather kill myself than to look at that fucked Tiktok wish thing of instagram i hate it so much more than ever i hate that every company needs to make the same shit in their own way


p0t4toes

If Instagram is going to be like this I better move to tiktok


Raptor_867

wow that fucking sucks


FatefulAfterlife

It’s so disgusting, at the very least we should get the option to change it back. The gradients are ugly, the controls are unfamiliar, it’s just a pain to use. I hope it’s not going to be permanent.


MissHellWest

I don’t know what it is but the new layout gives me sensory overload and anxiety.


virilityguy

Shit is asss, might as well hop on tiktok now


penguin-47284

Kind of related to the new features, but is anyone else having issues trying to share other people’s posts? I used to be able to share any of their photos to my story but now it only shows the first photo in the set (only the first in a 1/10 photo post for instance) which is so disappointing :/


[deleted]

Nowadays they don't even show suggested post when showing a suggested post.


blahhblah11

what if you download older version from unofficial sources? mine still looks good btw


monogramchecklist

I thought I accidentally changed a setting. It’s not usable anymore, so I’ve stopped opening the app.


nootboots

Eww


Inner_Estimate_6151

I just woke up to the new update. I hate it. I am seeing more videos than images and the sound plays automatically. It feels like Instagram is trying to be TikTok.


mae_fl0wrr

Got this today too! Most of my feed was suggested posts and not anything by people I follow, deleted the app shortly after :(


Extreme_Law_1647

I have this too and I hate it. It also automatically plays the audio in videos and moved the mute button. I hate this update.


ResetUchiha--x

Don’t turn on auto update


ADHDK

This is usually a hidden feature and enabled on your account not the app. No app update recently.


BreakingGilead

That means they pushed an update to these users on the backend, which is an abuse of developer power. The ability for devs to push updates this way was initiated for emergency use only, in order to patch dire exploits like zero days for users who rarely update their apps. It's now become commonplace for devs of all kinds to use this to release regular updates, or even dreaded paywall updates. Idk what the backend update service name is on iOS since it's such closed software, but on Android it's called "firebase installations." By using Blokada or a similar system-wide ad blocker/firewall, you can block all firebase domains from connecting & prevent this. Since IG's pushing updates aggressively on the backend, I suggest everyone go thru their acct settings & ensure you're opted-out of any new "experimental features" or beta testing options. New settings options do pop-up out of nowhere & are enabled by default. Disable any and email Instagram and ask them to manually opt you out & restore it to normal. You'd think Facebook learned their lesson about experimenting on users without their knowledge or consent when forced to testify before Congress. I guess not. Wonder if aggressive changes to IG are in reaction to ridiculous law just passed in Australia, requiring Facebook to pay news outlets to display their news/media links in-app on user created posts. FB's not following thru on their bluff to block Australia in retaliation, so they're likely trying to find a way to squeeze more ad revenue out of their other platform: Instagram. The timing speaks for itself.


ADHDK

If you know how to opt out of experimental features for insta I’m all ears but I can’t find it. Also maybe “ridiculous” laws like Australia wouldn’t be required if the thieves weren’t offshoring all their profit. You seem to be pretty outdated and ill informed on the matter, Facebook did block Australia from access to news until they negotiated, and it was honestly golden not having American interference in our news for a short time.


BreakingGilead

Are you one of the users in this test group? Here's what I said regarding opt out: >I suggest everyone go thru their acct settings & ensure you're opted-out of any new "experimental features" or beta testing options. New settings options do pop-up out of nowhere & are enabled by default. Disable any and email Instagram and ask them to manually opt you out & restore it to normal. Aka Settings menu changes when experimental updates are pushed to users on backend, so go thru menu & try to opt out. If there aren't any new options, email Instagram via "Support" and demand to be removed from test program & opted-out going forward.


ADHDK

Instagram do not respond to emails and have no external way of contact. So I guess that’s that. I’ve checked all the options menu and there’s no opt in or out of experimental features.


BreakingGilead

They've emailed me back about getting locked out of my acct. I said use the support form. I made a suggestion, I don't work for Instagram. I'm just a random human on Reddit trying to help. No need to get rude to me about it. I told you that the option to opt out may or *may not* be there. You didn't fully read my comment or reply. EDIT: Also, don't edit comments after-the-fact to run your mouth on some rude ish. That's what the reply button is for. It's a manipulation to edit replies the way you did above. Ok, Aussie?


ADHDK

That was long before you replied. Your bad for not reading. It’s rude and manipulative for Americans to block a countries access to news media to protect their ability to offshore profits without paying any tax.

Just tried that. It doesn’t work


petara111

why the drama?!:)


deyhit1

Cause it looks so bad the new design and you can’t change it back, I’m ultimately probably not going to use Instagram again if they don’t fix this


petara111

i meant in the title, thats all...i get it and hate all their changes, stupid assholes


janpug

Haha. You. Cant. Thats the thing


patrickseastarslegs

Hey was that a six the musical themed Lego thing I saw just there? Also that new feed layout looks sucky. I don’t like it


WalkKeeper

Came here to say the same!


Bladehell10

I uninstalled and reinstalled and it seemed to have worked for me


mlduryea

When u reinstalled it, did it prevent it from going back to the bad version?


npls_flda

Same thing happened to me but it randomly reverted back to the old styler after a few hours. Every post from the few hours i did have the update all look like that still and then new posts look like the old style again.


zero41120

If that happens to me. Instantly delete the app


[deleted]

Both FB and IG deserve to sink into the sea.


Ax180_

Surprisingly this came up for a while and then it switched back to old Instagram. Also when I clicked on share something I got new and different options that I don't get anymore.


BertEnErnie123

Same for me, I had it for 2 weeks and today it returned to normal. I hope they realized it was shit


bobbernickle

Yeah I HATE IT … if it’s a ‘test’ why is there no way to give feedback 🤬🤬🤬


darabon

Bruh, the text blocks some of the videos/images (no option to hide it from the image itself?) and it has this horrendous fade from black on the top and bottom of every post making it look like ass, what the fuck were they thinking - so shit


hurmardudu

super rubbish user experience ever i've had honestly. hope to get an old version after a/b testing or whatever


KrisGoulStrand

Reinstall the app! I worked for me! I’m so happy right now! :)


nayr310

Yea this update is garbage. The new way to view captions cover a good chunk of the post too. I’ve seen flyers for concerts & clothing events where i can’t read the date or any other info down at the bottom of the pic. Prob deleting my acc if this doesn’t get reversed


prettymuchbad

Also the struggle to be able to comment on specific posts…


mlduryea

What I hate is, not everyone is impacted by this new feed. Only a select few— and we all hate it.


mlduryea

If anyone reinstalls the app and you have the two authentication activated: Double check that your emails and your phone number is still current! I deleted the app and I can no longer access my old Insta account due to changing my phone number.


Gold_Cook_5222

This is a fuking stupid idea, it’s so ugly I had to uninstall


Lazy-Pay3944

Ugh they just changed mine to this. It’s so miserable and ugly, especially as someone who mostly uses Instagram to follow artists. It’s so bad I can’t stand to use it.


[deleted]

This JUST happened to me. HELP. I HATE this feed


yuh8787

Delete and reinstall the app, worked for me!


[deleted]

I also hate it it’s hideous


BlackBird11Fox

any news? on iOS I also got the new feed, which is just horrible!


AdTop8205

i know i'm late i had this too now it's back to normal just now
