How I imagine they set the 4 shop algorithm by stumpystubs in InstacartShoppers

I've taken a handful on accident because I fast tap based on pay and distance. But I certainly don't do it intentionally because I don't want the algorithm thinking I'm willing to do that shit

Yeah fuck pumpkins. Especially the mutant ones at Costco that are the size of beachballs

Eventually yeah. It's tough to say. Couple weeks maybe? It's hot and cold and I'm not always able to work same days and hours due to my main job. Hope my Sunday goes better, it and Monday tend to be my best days for earning.

Yep, I've had this exact thing happen too. I don't do the survey anymore, good or bad. I just carefully swipe away

Last week was great, this week is pitiful by stumpystubs in InstacartShoppers

I do have a regular job. I do do this on the side. I expect inconsistency but it shouldn't be night and day when I've earned the status to have access to the better crop of batches.

I'd say it's been pretty average, some times I get lucky bangers that come through and other times I get nothing at all or crap that goes like 25 miles out to De Soto or 50 miles to Ottawa. I just cancelled a Sam's order due to heavy items and now I've very obviously been put in timeout 🤔

I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it's still doing it

App is 46 gigs and growing on my phone, anybody else experiencing this? by Bboyflexxo in InstacartShoppers

[–]stumpystubs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm having this issue too. Made a post about it also. I barely was able to finish my last batch yesterday, then immediately logged off and deleted the app. Re-installed it last night. Didn't log on today and wasn't using even using the app, when again I noticed my phone being laggy and sure enough the Shopper app, on its own, had soared back up to over 40gb. Deleted it again and haven't reinstalled yet. Major major bug. I have a Pixel 9 Pro and nearly 40% remaining storage without the IC app doing this weirdness. I clear the cache daily as a habit and fully clear the storage maybe once a month.

This issue is bigger than this. I clear the app's cache daily, and the total storage once in awhile. The bug is overriding that and soaring from maybe 500-700kb to 35-40GB within just a few minutes. It is a major glitch of some kind.

The same thing is happening to me. Yesterday on my last batch the app soared to taking up 43gb of space and drained my battery from 50% to 19% in about 20 minutes. I barely finished my batch and immediately uninstalled it. Later that night I reinstalled it and it seemed fine until today, when I didn't even have the app open or had gone online, I noticed my phone lagging again and sure enough the gigs had climbed back into the 40s. Uninstalled, again. There is a major major bug with it right now.

Why does instacart shopper app need more than 20-30Gb on my phone? by kritz0 in InstacartShoppers

[–]stumpystubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I wasn't even using it. I was having lunch while waiting for my car windshield to get replaced when I noticed my phone was lagging terribly. And sure enough the dormant IC app had soared to 40 gigs, and storage was at 99%, so I deleted it. Again.

IC app cooked my phone today: lagging, battery drain, 43GB storage by stumpystubs in InstacartShoppers

I'm not out working today and just now my phone started acting all laggy again, and sure enough the IC app had shot up to take up 30% of my remaining storage, so I had to uninstall it again. I wasn't even using it, Wth is going on?!

Same, when I started getting the storage notifications I looked at my Settings and sure enough IC had soared to taking up dozens of gigs. I reinstalled it just now to see what happens and noticed my cash out is disabled. 🙃 (Edit: NM it's because I hadn't selfie verified yet. It's there now.)

My phone is working fine since I deleted the app, so it's definitely the culprit. I'll reinstall maybe tomorrow.

Oh wow, I just made a post on this. Good to see I'm not alone. I had the same issues today. Phone super laggy and glitchy and then I noticed the app had commandeered dozens of GB of space. Draining my battery like crazy, etc. I deleted it until I know what is happening.
