## Preview
## Is it safe?
Feurstagram does not collect, proxy, store, or transmit your credentials.
It patches the official Instagram Android app to remove distracting features. The patches are open source and documented, so you can inspect what is changed.
For maximum trust, you can build the APK yourself instead of downloading a prebuilt release.
That said, Feurstagram is an unofficial project and is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta. It is a modified APK installed outside the Play Store, so Android may show installation warnings. Using a modified client may violate Instagram's terms of service. Use it at your own risk.
## What Feurstagram does NOT do
Feurstagram does not:
- bypass Instagram login;
- collect your password or session tokens;
- proxy your traffic through a third-party server;
- add tracking or analytics;
- scrape accounts;
- sell or transmit user data;
- claim affiliation with Instagram or Meta.
## Why Feurstagram?
Unlike WebView-based alternatives, Feurstagram patches the real Android Instagram app.
Unlike accessibility-service blockers, it does not simply react to the interface after it loads.
Unlike closed-source Instagram mods, every patch is public and auditable.
Feurstagram is built for people who want to keep Instagram's useful social features without the addictive parts.
I built this project for myself as an alternative to DFInstagram which hasn't been maintained for a long time and was difficult to update. I'm sharing it so others can do the same for themselves.
**This project is entirely free and open-source.** Feel free to fork, copy, enhance, or submit pull requests - do whatever you want with it!

## How do I get notified when there is a new update ?
Feurstagram checks GitHub for a newer release on every launch and shows a
download prompt when your build is out of date. This **automatic update check**
is on by default and can be turned off in the Feurstagram settings page
(Updates section).
There is also a story on **the official Feurstagram** account every time there
is an update. Feurstagram has moved to a **new account**, @feurstagram_off:
