Consumer impact summary

The Insta360 X5 features a persistent notification bar button in its user interface that links to Insta360+, a paid cloud service. This button remains visible even for users who have not subscribed to the service and directs them to a subscription page.

This design choice embeds advertising within the hardware, which may pressure users into purchasing additional services and limits their control over the device’s interface.

Cloud button is always present in the middle, even when the user is not suscribed to the paid cloud backup

The button only contains an ad about the service
