Instander

Instander is a modification of Instagram that gives you extra features such as downloading photos, videos and stories, being in incognito mode, blocking ads and much more. It’s a good option for those who are looking for “something more” than what the original application offers.

This modification is fully developed by Dmitry Gavrilov (thedise), and although it is not as popular as other Instagram modifications, such as InstaUltra or Insta Aero, we can say that its constant updates make it one of the most important options to consider, with many extra features.

Features

From the Instander settings we can access all its extra features, which are

• Download: Notifications, Split media by username and Download folder.
• Privacy: Disable ads and analytics.
• Feed: We can configure the main feed of photos and videos with Hide liked posts, Auto-play videos, Recommended friends, In-app Browser, Swipe to navigate and Photos in maximum quality.
• Direct: Mark direct messages as unread and Disable typing status in Direct.
• Stories: Don’t mark stories as seen and Don’t crop stories.
• Verification: Here you can get a verification badge for your account with Information and Means to donate.
