Hi, I used to use Instander to browse Instagram privately but it doesn't seem to be updated anymore, is there an alternative that you recommend that has similar features? Like "ghost mode" when watching stories

The developer was threatened with legal action I last read so he was forced to takedown.

Use Proxigram. It works, most of the times.

https://aeroinsta.com/ I've used Instander and Aero and they're pretty comparable, albeit Aero is a little more opaque with the developer settings.

What makes you think it's dead?

That's far from true, if you installed it on your phone, it'll collect all the data that the official Instagram app collects... Does it give you the option to use an anonymous account ?

there's another project called Honista, but I quited Instagram years ago... So idk about it's features..

According to the website the latest update was on March 2024 (unfortunately it was for the unclone version only).
