Hello Instagram Support, Instants is not available on my account. When I try to use it, I get the message “Please check back soon. Instants is not available at this time.” I have already tried updating the app and checking my settings, but the problem is still there. no solution

My custom share list has just vanished after the update. It vanished on Instagram too. Also, when creating a custom share list (which is now also gone), add a "select all" checkbox so we can deselect some people instead of manually selecting each and every friend
