Hi, I've been using Instander for some time, but even the early beta is outdated by now, and doesn't work correctly.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.

Totally get where you’re coming from — Instander was great, but it’s been falling behind in updates lately. Out of the current modded Instagram apps, Honista is definitely one of the best options for Android right now. It’s actively maintained, has advanced privacy features (like Ghost Mode), no ads, and supports full media downloads (reels, stories, IGTV, etc.). It also includes a light/dark theme switcher and runs smoothly on most devices.

If you want a safe and updated version, you can check it out here: 👉 https://hoonista.com/

I’ve been using it for a while now without any issues. Just be sure to grab it from a trusted source like the one above — lots of sketchy clones are floating around.

Thanks. I ended up with InstaEclipse. It requires root (it's an LSPosed module), but hooks into the regular insta app, which means always the latest version.
