Refreshed today · Weekly refresh cadence

Instagram runs 771 active ads on Meta, shipping ~42 new creatives per week. Their library leans on Screen Recording16%, UGC Overlay9%, and Split Screen7%. Recently, instagram is pushing teen safety features hard (automatic protections, parental controls, age requirements) while simultaneously promoting core engagement mechanics like "Add Yours" stickers, story sharing, and a new basic/data-saving mode for emerging markets. The creative leans heavily on connection and collaboration between friends (fixing bikes together, sharing memories) with a secondary thread around creative expression through Reels, positioning the platform as both safer for young users and essential for maintaining relationships when data is limited.
