Common questions

How were these ads chosen?

From Meta’s Ad Library on October 1, 2026: ads running in the US now on Instagram, in the 9:16 shape, whose copy mentions “supplements”, “coffee”, “sneakers”, “dog food”, “meal kit”, “learn a language”, “mattress” or “protein powder”. They were read in Meta’s own order of impressions, one ad per advertiser, leaving out catalogue product ads, then put in order of when they started.

Why put the longest-running ads first?

An advertiser pays for every day an ad stays live. One that has run for months is one they keep choosing to fund, which is the clearest public sign that it works.

Does Meta show how much these ads spend?

Not for ordinary commercial ads. Meta publishes spend and impressions only for ads about social issues, elections or politics; for other ads shown outside the EU, the library shows the creative, the page that ran it and the dates it ran.

What size is an Instagram Stories ad?

Meta recommends 1,080 × 1,920 pixels, a vertical 9:16 that fills the screen, and accepts no smaller than 600 × 1,067. Feed shapes from 1.91:1 to 4:5 can run in Stories too.

How long can an Instagram Stories ad be?

A video can run up to 60 minutes. An image shows for 5 seconds by default.

Where does the call to action go in a Stories ad?

Meta places a call-to-action sticker at the bottom of the ad, so keep text, logos and the product clear of the bottom of the frame.
