Has anyone noticed a significant decrease in impressions/reach this week? I had been easily getting 1 million impressions or more on multiple pictures per week and since last Friday, not a single post has taken off. I have tried reposting photos that had gone crazy viral for me before and they did not perform even close to what they did in the past.

I am not shadow banned. I am visible in hashtags. I have still grown during this time. Instagram has obviously introduced a bunch of new features over the last week and in my experience, whenever they make a bunch of changes, the algorithm gets messed up but always comes back to normal. However, it has been about a week and I have noticed while some accounts are experiencing the same thing as I am, there are others who are not and who are doing even better than before.

Is anyone experiencing anything similar? Any insights?
 
I experienced the same issue with one of my accounts. I have no idea what's happening (not shadowbanned) however I think it could have something to do with this verification loop issue that we're also seeing recently? not 100 percent sure though tbh. :\

I'm not using any bots or automation. My account hasn't had any verification loop issues.

Same for me!

I've hardly recovered my engagement in the pasts months reaching 30k impressions (starting from 12/15k).
From this week my impressions are again 12/15k. This is really frustrating! I'm trying to understand what I've done differently. I'm doing f/u and some comments every day. I think that the only thing that I've changed is unfollowing with my own hands, without a bot. I tough that this would have helped me, not crushed my engagement.

Hope to read good news from you soon! :)

Also if you check those hashtags feeds from another account than the one that uploaded the post?

If you have posts with a million impressions, you probably already know you should do that.
 
Note that it can also be related to the new follow hashtag feature that Instagram introduced. Users can now follow hashtags and some posts of that hashtag will show up in their feed.
