Hi, I’ve been using Instander for some time, but even the early beta is outdated by now, and doesn’t work correctly. Does anyone have any recommendations on good Instagram mods? I know about AeroInsta, Honista, MyInsta and few others, but not sure which are safe.

PS: please tell me if this isn’t the right community for this question, I’m not sure but it seems like the best one PPS: I know precisely how bad instagram is, and I still want/need to use it, so please don’t waste your time telling me that.

I don’t care about those dumb reels so tiktok is not an instagram alternative for me anyways. Also I would never install that thing on my device. There aren’t many apps worse than Instagram for privacy, but TikTok is definitely one of them.

I don’t think any of these are good. I currently have to use instagram, because all my friends use it for chats and chat groups etc. I don’t use instagram for reels, so TikTok is not an alternative for me. And from what I have read about the TikTok app, it spies on you even more than instagram. Also the modded instgram versions usually have an option to block some of Meta’s analytics, and that’s one of the reasons I want to use them.

I use myinsta. It’s great for removing ads, etc. But there are some minor glitches (eg. repeatedly asking for contacts/location permissions) and it seems to take up more storage.

I’m currently using Distraction Free Instagram which allowed me to disable the explore and reels tabs. Also appears to block ads. Sadly not open-source

Tried it but nothing showing up in the feed.

Is there anything else to do?

Is the ad blocking a separate option somewhere? There are sponsored posts in the feed for me.

Edit: it also doesn’t do what it says on the tin, it goes right back to the suggested posts if there are no new ones from people you follow.

That’s an unconventional way of sharing source. How do we know the built apk is built from that source?

I agree, I am not the one that made the app. But anyway it’s exactly the same with github apk releases. Just build the app with the code and compare I guess ?

Right now I’m using InstaPro. It’s receiving frequent updates and as for now, I don’t have any major complaints about it.

If you want to download it, its official website is instamod.net. Watch out for fake links you may find on Google.

Always use an adblocker. With ublock, no issues at all.
