Everyday I open the app I keep seeing an in app notification to add some random person from quick add. Please make it so I can completly disable quick add, I have no interest in adding random people, and yes i have the notification for the above stated issue, but I'm still seeing random people. Second issue is "suggested stories" from people I don't know. I don't care to see peoples stories that I don't know, make an option to disable that as well please.

i love this app. i use it to communicate with all of my friends and family. HOWEVER. i have deleted and re-downloaded it so many times BECAUSE I'll start watching a spotlight video, and an ad will pop up. which is normal i get it. but then i skip the add. and now suddenly all i can see is that specific ad. so ill try ignore it and try to text someone. and it will be all fine, until i try to type. it will continue showing the ad so i can only see it. so ill close the app. AND IT JUST KEEPS GOING.

I'm just trying to interact with my friends and family, but I'm getting ads thrown in my face every 3 snaps. There's even messages from ads now. The discover page being added was bad in the first place, but the comment sections have made it even worse. It's a breeding ground for hate of minorities that's completely unregulated. I have account memories from 7 years ago, but the app doesn't even allow me to scroll that far without crashing. Terrible app.
