Today we put a message at the top of Instagram in the US making it clear that votes are still being counted. 🗳

This is a moment of uncertainty for a lot of people, and we won’t have clarity for a few days. In the meantime it’s critical that people have accurate information.

[Instagram Comms @InstagramComms]

We're aware of reports that people are experiencing less engagement than usual. We looked into this and found that videos, posts with multiple images, and shopping posts shared earlier today were not shown to people’s followers in their Feed.

1/ We stand in solidarity with the Black community. But that’s not enough. Words are not enough. That’s why we’re committed to looking at the ways our policies, tools, and processes impact Black people and other underrepresented groups on Instagram.

@davidleavitt Thanks for raising this, we investigated today and found a bug that we're now fixing. The location stories you mention can be found on our website here https://t.co/03r37uHZ50 and here https://t.co/Jpq6JmrUOq in the meantime.

Looking forward to this.

New from @instagram: It’s launching a feature that lets you look at posts you’ve liked or saved over video chat w/ up to 6 friends at a time, plus a ton of new tools designed to reduce the spread of misinformation about the COVID-19 coronavirus: https://t.co/AHReBJKShd @inputmag

@davidjstier @mosseri Thanks David, I believe you have an outdated screenshot - this is the correct one. People can choose to bypass sharing contact information, and we state information provided will be public.

[Stephanie Otway @OtwayStephanie]

@davidjstier @mosseri Hi David - sharing phone numbers when converting to a business account is a choice, and we let people know in the app that their contact information will be public. People can opt-out of providing contact information when they make this switch, if they prefer.

[Instagram @instagram]

Starting today you can protect your account from unwanted interactions with a new feature called Restrict. This is just one of the ways we’re empowering our community to stand up to bullying. https://t.co/65WJuAOdON
