InstaGrabber is an app that allows...
2020-07-01 20:55:53 +00:00
2020-07-22 00:50:43 +00:00
* 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\*!
2020-07-23 16:02:13 +00:00
* Like/bookmark posts\*!
2020-07-22 00:50:43 +00:00
* Downloading multiple posts at once (hold & select)!
2020-07-25 21:10:26 +00:00
* (Un)follow/restrict/block people\*, and (un)follow hashtags\*! (Or you can add shortcuts to them, without logging in!)
2020-07-22 00:50:43 +00:00
* **Copy** post captions, comments, DM messages\*, and profile bios.
* **Compare** follower/following list< sup > 2</ sup > !
* Searching usernames and hashtags.
< 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This app is originally made by [@AwaisKing ](https://github.com/AwaisKing ) who posted on [GitLab ](https://gitlab.com/AwaisKing/instagrabber ) but subsequently abandoned it.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.)

< 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 >
