No, 99% of my time spent on Instagram is on my phone. I have never seen an advertisement on there or on the desktop site. My hypothesis is that they have some threshold that "every N posts we insert M ads" and because my feed doesn't meet that N-post threshold I've never seen any ads. That's only a guess, though.
- saberience 8y agoThat doesn't make any sense. Instagram shows ads no matter who you are or how many friends/posts you have. I use Insta less than anyone I know. I only have 179 friends on there and barely get any posts showing up but I still see ads. I just checked the feed now and the second "post" was an ad for "Quickbooks". So you're either deliberately lying or can't tell the difference between an ad or a real post.
