Instagram

Pros

The most thing I like most about the platform is that it can reach a wide range of audiences, hence making most content visible to more people. Also, the platform is open for anyone to monitize there content and earn from brands deals and there is also an app shop feature where merchandise are well posted

Cons

The downside is that privacy and security isuue, addictive nature, and also content theft si high.

Pros

The ease of access, everything is setup to be super efficient and streamlined. The use of the app for marketing is perfect, it combines the best parts of other social media apps such as TikTok and X into one multi-tasking platform.

Cons

The Reels feature as useful as it is for promotion it is also easy to get distracted on and loose time. But that's more of an individuals self-discipline at the end of the day.

Pros

I loved it at first for posting artwork, an fun times with friends and family.

Cons

It really depreciated in quality and value with instagram stories, an not having a tighter rein on innapropriate posts.

Pros

Instagram reels are the best for the brand engagement and increase the brand awareness and get the relevant target audiences

Cons

All the transition effects are not available on the desktop version and Sometimes after putting lots of hastags and relevant content and audio but still instagram is not giving us the best traction for each post.

Pros

instagram effects and filters while creating the reels are awesome, also they provide the options to save those effects for future reels.

Cons

It takes a lot of time to add the effects while creating the reels on low end mobile phones and sometime it gets hanged

Pros

Instagram is good at displaying very effective ads to the specified demographic. The interface is simple enough and they've even made Reels incredibly easy and accessible to make.

Cons

The analytics and reporting options for business pages are terrible. There is no way to view a lot of the analytics beyond 90 days. You must use Meta Business Suite (still limited) or third-party tools (in most cases, multiple third-party tools).

Reasons for Switching to Instagram

Pros

Connects me to the virtual world in every aspect

Cons

Unable to post status to just a group of people. Everyone sees what is posted

Pros

The best instant social network to share photos and moments with your community and friends.

Cons

Sometimes the algorithm is very abrupt in showing you content for simply doing a few searches on a given topic.

Pros

IG provides a mix of FB & TikTok and is super helpful to reach a targeted audience for my small business.

Cons

I don't like how easy it is for content to be copied or fake spam accounts that can be created. There should be more restriction around this.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Instagram

Pros

The best feature would be ability to share your photos and videos with all your friends or publicly, and the photos remain permanently posted on your profile creating ever-lasting memories.

Cons

One thing that bugs me out is ability to get blue tick (which tells if an account is official one or not) just by paying monthly charges. It is easier to scam people this way especially those who are naive.

Pros

Instagram was very easy to use and had some great sharing functionality. It suggested like minded people and businesses in my industry. I found it useful to make connections with other creators and bring the business reach to a much larger audience.

Cons

Was limiting at first by not allowing scheduling of posts. Lots of spam accounts private messaging offering fake promotions and promotions to buy followers. Other than that not much to complain about.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Instagram

Pros

It is a great social network that is dynamic in interaction and fast news

Cons

From time to time there is bureaucracy in following, liking, and commenting if you do too much of this activity and restricting it by the community

Pros

Instagram is very user friendly, allowing to reach nearly all the audience from young users to older ones. Additionally, is has multiple features to reach difference audience like: stories, reels, virtual shop, and many others.

Cons

Since is online, a trust Center could be developed to better certificate the sellers and promoters. These specially applies for your audience that must have a control on the information they can see.

Pros

When you use the algorithm to its full extent, a lot of the work is done for you getting your name, brand and content out in the world. Without the algorithm, our reach would be much smaller and harder.

Cons

Sometimes it can be hard to understand how best to get your content out. For instance, using popular music is good but it also makes it so your content is competing against others using the same music.

Pros

I like being able to see pictures upfront instead of having to read lengthy stories and ideas.

Cons

As a therapist to middle school girls, I have seen so much damage come to so many people. It makes me struggle to say that "I like instagram" or that it's been completely a positive.

Pros

Instagram brings us closer to people, easy to use, giving people of all ages access

Cons

I think sponsoring an ad is a bit expensive for someone who is starting a business.

Pros

The next advantage of Instagram is that it has excellent features and the finest social media sites available right now. It's a terrific method to connect with people and share their lives, and the reels can be the greatest short form films available right now, ranking in the top two and comparable with tiktok as a best short form videos. and i think it has a great mood or easy access to share their own stories.if youre interested in one particular topic the algorithm will show you the similar topics to get your favorit topic.

Cons

Instagram's high number of bots and scammers is one of its drawbacks.i also asked my friends about this and they had a same experience. Instagram still has to improve in this area, even if bots and scammers are present on many well-known social media networks.Many fraudulent activities and fake accounts might make the experience less enjoyable. Instagram should take stronger action to block these scammers after they are alerted, and there is definitely room for improvement in the way this issue is addressed.

Pros

Instagram is full of ideas and information. Professional and personal loves are shared through, pictures, videos and live sessions. Everyone can attach the details they want others to know about them. Also you can post what you offer at a professional and personal standpoint. You can look at the content you like and like it to encourage more of that content.

Cons

I do not dislike anything about Instagram.

Pros

- Free to use.
- Possibility to get in touch with anyone via DM.
- Stories can help you reach a certain audience.

Cons

- Ads on Instagram are affordable but not that effective if your campaigns are short or not targeting a lot of users.
- Instagram is a bit saturated as a promotion tool and it is hard to gain organic followers without paying for ads.

Pros

I like the diversity of information, access to brands and profiles that interest me, as well as the entertainment.

Cons

Having to be polite on some sensitive subjects and not having so much freedom of expression.

Pros

A good tool to use for managing a business and attracting customers.

Cons

Sometimes the content gets skewed when posting or the fun filters don't work.

Pros

It is a social networking platform that helps to enhance the relationships between common people and business professionals by following them. And market potential has also increased due to the large number of people offering their services and commodities on Instagram profiles.

Cons

Instagram has become a consumer addiction, with young people still using it for enjoyment. Instagram has major technological restrictions. Because the platform is mobile/Android, the web version might be improved. And also we can not see our profile picture in our phone we have to use other's device. During posting stories, we can not crop the photo and video, we can not add more than one video.

Pros

It's a great way to communicate and interact with people and discovering things such as makeup ,fashion keeping up with your favorite celebrities and the reels are very entertaining

Cons

Stories are slow at loading and so are the reels

Pros

Instagram is something that gives us updates everyday. There are many things that can be known from this application. Many pages to follow, many inspirations and also all the political, public, films etc news can be found in less time. If there is some news it can be known in insta than in news and other things.

Cons

Kids who study uses this app and watch reals and concentrate less on their studies. There is nothing to dislike about insta much.

Pros

Attractive Visual Content, Stories, Reels, Content Exploration, Image Editing Tools and Content Variety.

Cons

Algorithm and Content Display Changes, Privacy and Security Issues.

Pros

Instagram is visually appealing, easy to use, and allows me to share my photography work with my followers and other users on the app. I use features like the Explore page and Stories on a regular basis. Quick interactions through likes, comments, and DMs allow me to stay connected with my followers in an easy and interactive way.

Cons

The algorithm is probably the worst feature of the app. It makes it difficult to see posts from friends while prioritizing ads and suggested content instead. Organic reach seems to be declining as well, unless you boost your post in order to reach more people, particularly your followers.

Pros

Instagram is an app that allows me to interact with others through likes, comments and direct messaging.
This app also helps me to create a vast audience for business promotion and personal content.

Cons

It is time-consuming and highly competitive.

Pros

Instagram is my most used social media platform. It is my central app for news, photography and video. The algorithm has gotten to know me to the point where all content it recommends is relevant, from the latest music release to trailers for movies. It's my secondary source of communication with friends too.

Cons

Instagram can be very addictive, especially with its reels. I find myself needing to limit my usage, as time can pass very quickly! Another dislikeable thing is the amount of sponsored content, with wildly varying quality.

Pros

I like many features in Instagram, like, one of the best feature is earning. Anyone can earn with Instagram, that helps in decreasing poverty

Cons

I don't like the addictive feature of Instagram. If I saw few reels of same type, Instagram automatic recommends me reels similar to those

Pros

What I liked the most is that it has a large selection of music that sd adds in rail recordings and posts, and there is also a partner program that pays for the publication of their music.

Cons

Slightly complicated site functions...messed up everything

Pros

The ability to reset your algorithm has been one of the best additions to Instagram

Cons

I dislike the difficulty of reaching a larger audience using photo posts.

Pros

I like to have contact with a lot of people and for people to be able to see my work wherever they are. It's a very useful tool for sales and also for interacting with things I like.

Cons

I think the security is a little weak, as there are several people with hacked accounts and losing all their work.

Pros

I'm writing this review from the point of view of an advertiser. Instagram is a window of opportunity with a broad and diverse global reach for brands that want exposure and a dialog with customers. For our company, Instagram is tremendous communication tool as we use it to showcase our educational offering in a visual manner while maintaining a controlled conversation with both actual and prospective clients.

Cons

Changes in the way the algorithm works can create havoc in long term planned campaigns... But these are our times, all platforms are always improving on this front and we need to constantly re-learn how to craft messages that are appealing to both humans and algorithms.

Pros

I like that I can use this platform as a way to share valuable and entertaining videos and images to my target my customers who are using the app for consuming content related to the hunting industry.

Cons

I don't like how it doesn't show as much of my organic content to my followers like it used to. It's now a pay to play platform

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Instagram

Pros

I like that I can keep in touch with people all around the world, whether it's friends I lost touch with but can still double tap their photo, or meeting new people. I like the option to add a bio, unlimited posts, stories, and the fact that you can choose whether you'd like to be private.

Cons

Instagram can become a popularity contest and may not be well suited for younger audiences. I also wish you could rearrange your carousel after posting it to your grid.

Pros

Creating posts and stories is well-designed and lets you share your life in a nice way to those who follow you. The messaging function is easy to use and well-made

Cons

Instagram has seemingly changed from a personal social media network, to something more akin to TikTok and youtube. My feed used to be filled with personal posts from those I follow and my friends, and now it is large businesses and influencers, along with a lot of advertisements.

The reels feature is designed to suck you in to watching videos with little value, but that keep you on the platform. It is great from the perspective of Instagram, but it sucks the personal feel out of the platform.

Pros

I like how Instagram lets me share moments through photos and stories while discovering new content.

Cons

Instagram is best I didn't experience anything least at moment.

Pros

It is an application that allows me to stay in touch with what is currently happening in the world and share my life through the networks with those who are far from me.

Cons

I understand that since we are currently with everything within reach of just one click, I can say that people have become desensitized and all comments (even bad ones) are commented on. Without thinking about what mental health position the other person is in.

Pros

While making reels on Instagram, I get very unique filters, using which I make very good reels.

Cons

Watching those reels again and again and asking for comments from people

Pros

I have been using this software for our company social media management. I like the reels part of the instagram where if you create reels on trending songs with good visual effect your reels will be easily go viral and you will get more profile views and visits to the company instagram handle. This is i liked most

Cons

Instagram can add some more inbuilt templates for editing the reels which are not much effective in rhe current version

Pros

The ability to meet up with new friend and also wide Internet audiences

Cons

It doesn't allow sharing of very large files

Pros

The posts, the ease of looking for something or someone and passes time.

Cons

Sometimes the system slows down and fake news.

The intuitive user experience of the app and algorithm of the reels section

Cons

Glitches of the app and low quality compression of reels

Pros

Instagram is incredibly user-friendly, and its ability to reach a large audience is perfect for growing a business. Creating reels and stories is simple, and the result is always professional.

Cons

The only complaint is that you cannot put links to websites directly on posts. Directing clients to a page or event listing in a post description would be a nice feature.

Pros

It's a great to share your content as a freelance digital artist. You can get exposure a lot and suddenly start getting orders if one of your posts go viral. The photo posting process is very easy.

Cons

With time this app has become very complicated for someone who has never used instagram, with lots of new features, for example the chatting options. The old instagram was better with more simplicity.

Pros

It’s a great application to share personal Diary and Promote products and projects and follow up on celebrity pages

Instagram need strong network to watch reels and share stories

Influencer marketing enables companies to collaborate with influencers to promote products or services. This increases followers’ awareness of the brand and increases engagement.

Instagram algorithms update frequently, affecting the visibility and reach of content. Users may find it difficult to adapt to these changes, and this can impact the organic reach of posts.

Pros

I haven't encountered any negatives yet
