Regarding Facebook ad placement issues, seeking solutions.

My Facebook ad is set to run on Instagram placements, but all the traffic is going to the Facebook section instead. Not a single person is seeing it on Instagram. What's going on? Has anyone else encountered this?
This ad account was working fine before, and my other ad accounts are functioning normally.
Now, no matter what type of ad I create—whether it's for traffic, engagement, or sales—it keeps directing traffic to the Facebook section.

Try duplicating the ad and set Instagram-only placement.

Just use Manual Placements and uncheck everything except Instagram. If Facebook is still hogging the budget on 'Auto' placements, it's usually because their algo thinks it's cheaper to get clicks there, even if the quality is worse.

Try duplicating the campaign and manually select Instagram only, sometimes the original placement gets stuck.
