* Viewing **and downloading** Instagram posts, stories (including highlights)\*, DM\*, and profile pictures, **without** letting people know you viewed it<sup>1</sup>! Works for followed private accounts\*!
<sub>* Requires [login](#how-to-log-in). You must be a current follower of the desired private accounts, this app cannot hack people (which I have to state despite the obvious)!</sub>
It can be used as a drop-in replacement for read functionalities of the official Instagram app, with unnecessary components stripped.
This app is originally made by [@AwaisKing](https://github.com/AwaisKing) who posted on [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/AwaisKing/instagrabber) but subsequently abandoned it.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.)
By logging in, you can access posts/stories from private accounts, as well as your direct messages.
The relevant source code is [here](https://github.com/austinhuang0131/instagrabber/blob/master/app/src/main/java/awais/instagrabber/activities/Login.java) should you be concerned.
1. Click the 3 dots on the bottom right corner.
2. Click "Settings".
3. Scroll down, click the green button called "Login".
<sub>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).<br>2. Shameless plug: If you do not have an Android device but wants to do that, read [this](https://austinhuang.me/instagram-compare).</sub>
