I am looking for a UI (web browser or app) to use on my Android phone that lets me access instagram, but which doesn’t give me such easy access to reels and other video content. I am imagining something similar to Newpipe that uses a different UI to provide access to the same content, but which isn’t such an attention trap.
Is there a reason that instagram and facebook have such curated experiences while youtube is able to get presented so differently by third party apps?
Hey, this is a greasyfork userscript i found that auto directs you to Pixwox(the frontend for instagram)
I’ve used MyInsta to disable reels
This is the one I’m using too. Now if only it had a setting to change the primary feed to “followed” or disable the suggested posts.
Edit: the revanced patch might work. It worked for aeroinsta.
Edit: it did not work on the unclone version and I can’t figure out how to make revanced run on the clone apk
Just use revanced - it has a whole bunch of patches which specifically disables reels etc, in addition to blocking ads.
Would be interested too, or in bridges. I primarily am only there because of a few agencies that only have Insta, and family who refuse to use anything else. I never write anything and would love a way to read directly from somewhere else
Check out aeroinsta https://aeroinsta.app/
i wouldn’t trust any Instagram app other than instafel. it’s the only one that’s open source.
