Let users set Following (Chronological) as their permanent default home tab and allow photographers to upload 10-bit HDR P3 images without aggressive JPEG artifacts.
Provide a true chronological feed that stays permanently without silently reverting to algorithmic recommendations after 24 hours. Respect the user choice.
Instagram was built for photography. Stop pushing Reels, shopping, and suggested posts over content from people I actually follow. Give us a photo-focused mode.
The desktop web experience is missing half the features of mobile. Allow full DM functionality, story posting, and reel creation from a browser.
Let users schedule posts directly in the Instagram app without requiring the separate Meta Business Suite. Individual creators should not need enterprise tools for basic scheduling.
Let creators download their own Reels without watermarks and in original upload quality. Currently the only option is screen recording which degrades quality.
