What changes?
Keep what matters, remove what distracts
Feed Posts
The endless home feed is blocked at the network level. No more doomscrolling.
Explore Tab
The suggested Explore content is hidden to prevent infinite browsing.
Reels Tab
Reels are blocked at the network level and the tab icon itself is hidden from the bottom bar. No infinite video loops.
Instants (+ in DMs)
The intrusive Instants "+" button at the bottom-right of the inbox is hidden. Toggleable.
Notes (above DMs)
The row of friends' text-bubble Notes at the top of the inbox is hidden. Toggleable.
Stories
View and post stories from the people you follow.
Direct Messages
Full messaging functionality including shared reels and posts.
Profile & Search
Access your profile, search for users, and get notifications.
Why Feurstagram?
For people who need Instagram DMs, stories and profiles, but do not want Reels, Explore, ads or the endless feed.
Real Android app
Feurstagram patches the real Instagram Android app instead of wrapping the mobile website in a WebView.
Open patches
The patch scripts and smali changes are public, so you can inspect what is changed before installing anything.
Built for focus
It keeps the useful social features and removes the parts designed for endless scrolling.
Classic APK vs Clone APK
Choose the install type that matches how you want to use Instagram on your device.
Classic APK
Replaces the regular Instagram app by keeping Instagram's original package ID. Use this if you only want Feurstagram installed.
Clone APK
Uses a different package ID so it can be installed alongside the official Instagram app. Use this if you want both apps on the same device.
Safety and trust
Feurstagram does not collect, proxy, store, or transmit your Instagram credentials.
Build it yourself
You can patch the APK locally from source instead of trusting a prebuilt release artifact.
Unofficial project
Feurstagram is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta. It is a modified APK, so use it at your own risk.
Documented behavior
The README documents the current blocked network paths for feed, Reels, Explore, ads, telemetry and related features.
