FAQ

The module doesn't start up.

Open a ticket including your device name, OS, root status, and the logs from LSPosed if rooted.

Otherwise, we won't be able to help you!

The module starts, but the developer options are not showing up.

• Make sure you have installed one of the combitaple versions of Instagram.
• Make sure you have enabled the module from LSPosed/EdXposed/etc.
• Deactivate and reactivate the module from LSPosed, EdXposed, etc...
• If none worked, check LSPosed logs and send them to us by opening a ticket.
• Please note that if the logs don't include anything wrong, we won't be able to help you because most likely  it's something with your device.

Where is the home button?

• The home button is the Instagram home button (not the phone home button, apparently!).

Contributing

Contributions are always welcome!

To support newer versions:

You can now use my new tool IGExperimentsPatcher to directly patch Instagram apk without waiting me for update something, it can also simply give you the class, method and arg type to use in this module. Find it here !

Otherwise if you are a hacker wearing a very dark hood:

Please refer to the IGHookClasses repository to update class hooks necessary for new Instagram versions.
