About
Instagram is one of the world’s leading social networks and also one of our biggest sources of entertainment online. Here, you get first-hand posts from favourite celebrities and influencers. You also get to share your life’s moments with friends and followers, as you also get to experience theirs through their stories.
However, like many other social platforms, it lacks a few minor user-experience features, and that’s why developers tend to come up with their own custom versions of these applications, and the Instander seems to be the best Android alternative for Instagram.
The developer thedise (Dmitry Gavrilov) designed this as safe as possible and an application that guarantees users downloading media files, such as videos or images, without a third party.

Clone
Clone comes with com.instander.android package name, and it can be installed as a standalone application.
