InstaGrabber

InstaGrabber

InstaGrabber is an app that allows...

  • Viewing and downloading Instagram posts, stories (including highlights)*, DM*, and profile pictures, without letting people know you viewed it1! Works for followed private accounts*!
  • Like/bookmark posts*!
  • Follow/restrict/block people*!
  • Downloading multiple posts at once (hold & select)!
  • Copy post captions, comments, DM messages*, and profile bios.
  • Compare follower/following list2!
  • Searching usernames and hashtags.

* Requires login. You must be a current follower of the desired private accounts, this app cannot hack people (which I have to state despite the obvious)!

It can be used as a drop-in replacement for read functionalities of the official Instagram app, with unnecessary components stripped.

Profile Post Story (Highlight shown)

This app is originally made by @AwaisKing who posted on GitLab but subsequently abandoned it. I decided to continue the app cuz why not, even though it might not be that cash money. (Also I need to learn Java.)

Download

Download here. Under each release is an app-release.apk for installation.

Not compatible with pre-16.6 versions (including alpha).

Previous owner left a lot of swearings in the code, I will remove them when I get to that file.

1. The downside is that they'll always be "new" in other Instagram clients. Also, this app will not respect DM message restrictions (replay once / no replay).
2. Shameless plug: If you do not have an Android device but wants to do that, read this.
