Instagram's latest visible AI Index is 66.3. Read the trend together with engine coverage and mention-rate signals rather than as a standalone forecast. That movement is useful context, but it is strongest when it lines up with engine coverage and mention-rate changes. A single score move should not be read as a full market or product signal.

Instagram softened over the visible trend window, moving from 72.1 on 2026-04-29 to 42.2 on 2026-05-31. Use this trend alongside the engine breakdown to see whether movement is broad or isolated to a few engines.
