instagram leaks

2022-06-29 10:24:07 A couple of new updates about mentions in Stories

Instagram is already rolling out a new feature that allows you to add a mentions to Stories even after it has been uploaded

When you open your Story and select more options, you'll see a new item — Add mentions

Once you've selected the users you need, it will be not allowed to remove these mentions, it is only allowed to add them — despite the fact that no text tag is created in Story

Instagram is also working on a very highly anticipated feature — if a Story has mentions, you will see a dedicated icon under the user's nickname, tapping on which you'll see a list of all the users mentioned in that Story

Curiously, the ability to add mentions is currently rolling out, however the list of all mentions is a different feature that they're in no hurry to roll out yet

Therefore, add mentions is useless, because other users won't see them anyway, unless the mentioned user will have an ability to add this Story to his own

2022-06-16 13:00:40 Instagram totally kills own philosophy

From the beginning, Instagram has only allowed you to upload square photos in a 1:1 ratio, and the same format was used for profile feed

Instagram has changed drastically during all this time, but the format of the square profile feed has remained unchanged, until now

So now, Instagram has started to consider showing preview posts in a more elongated 4:5 format, instead of 1:1

In that format, photos that were uploaded in 4:5 ratio will be fully shown in the profile feed — good news for those who upload in that format (example of real profile)

More complicated will be for canonical square and 9:16 photos (about this later), the pics of these formats will be stretched and cropped respectively, luckily with this feature Instagram also gives the opportunity to choose the preview for photos, just as it is implemented for Video and Reels

Fatality will come for the lovers of a puzzle layout feed, because in this case, the whole integrity of the feed fucked up (last pic) Відкрити / Коментувати

2022-06-09 11:49:09 Instagram is working on the ability to expand a user's profile picture

This option, which has long been a default feature for various instagram mods, will also appear in the official app as well

When you expand the profile picture, it opens a full 1080 by 1080 px picture, on the thumbnail without expansion it is 150 by 150 px

However, it is worth noting that in fact the profile picture is actually a square, and what is behind the circle can still only be seen by privileged mods users — a similar feature in Tiktok shows a square image

This feature is still under development, so for example the size of the circle has not yet been set and may change in the release, also being tested two ways of expanding, on the simple tap or long press on the profile picture

View profile pictures on closed profiles will be simpler!

2022-06-02 12:28:04 You probably noticed that there has been no news on the channel since February 23. This is related to the war that Russia started in Ukraine, where I actually live.

At the first time it was morally and physically difficult to keep the project going, considering all the terrible events that have happened and are still happening. I should say right away that everything is fine with me, except for a missile attack, my life is no longer threatened by anything.

From the beginning of the war, it was necessary to decide what place I will take in this war, I am not the person who will run to the front with a gun in his hands, so my mission was to help in the humanitarian headquarters, where I live and work for over two months, in connection with this project was neither strength nor time.

The Ukrainian army was able to repel the Russian Federation troops from the southern front and prevent them from capturing Kyiv, the city where I live. Currently, life has begun to return to the city, although the danger has not disappeared altogether, and the war in other directions is only gaining momentum.

I don't know if I'll be able to return to work soon, but I can say that my project with developer settings on alpha versions of instagram works all the time, every day I publish an build with open developer settings and changelog to it

2022-02-13 11:12:01 Instagram is working on a much-needed feature for the Stories Editor — it will allow you to bring stickers to the front or back

The sticker will be locked in the selected position, and it will not be brought to the front when you move it further, as is the case now

A pop-up menu appears when you long-press on a sticker, and notice that the «Pin to video» option will also migrate to that menu

This feature is being tested for a while, and maybe someone already has it, let me know in the comments (mods out)

Инстаграм работает над очень нужной функцией для редактора Сторис — она позволит перемещать стикеры на передний или задний план

Стикер будет принудительно закреплен в назначенной позиции, и не выносится вверх при дальнейшем перемещении, как это происходит сейчас

Окно появляется при долгом удержании по стикеру, также стоит заметить, что опция «Прикрепить к видео» также отныне будет здесь

Функция давно тестируется и возможно уже у кого-то есть, отпишите в комментариях (моды прочь) Відкрити / Коментувати

2022-01-30 15:59:22 For good measure to the «Edit Grid» feature, Instagram is also working on the ability to Pin posts to your profile

Вдогонку к функции «Редактировать сетку», Инстаграм также работает над возможностью Закреплять посты в профиле Відкрити / Коментувати

2022-01-28 10:26:01 Instagram is developing the ability to Edit the Grid of already published media in the Profile

The perennial dilemma when, some time after posting, you don't like how the posts look in the feed, now you will no longer have to delete posts that don't conform to the aesthetic of the feed

You can change the position of all media in the main tab. You can also notice that only the last 12 media are visible, not the entire feed

The feature will be under «Edit Profile» section

Инстаграм разрабатывает возможность редактировать сетку уже опубликованных медиа в профиле

Извечная проблема, когда спустя некоторое время после публикации, вам не нравится как посты выглядят в ленте, теперь вам больше не прийдётся удалять посты, которые не соответствуют эстетике ленты

Изменять положение можно всех медиа на главной вкладке. Также можно заметить, что доступно только последние 12 медиа, а не вся лента целиком

Функция будет находиться в разделе «Редактировать профиль» Відкрити / Коментувати

2022-01-24 15:54:14 Find out how to enable this feature

Here's a little insight into how I manage to find new instagram features. If you think I work there, or I get leaked private apk by some staff, you're wrong, it's a little different.

The first task: getting access to the developer's settings — instagram workers use them to test new functionality

The second task: to find new settings, because Instagram does not provide a list of changes for each new update

Basically, you just need to activate them in the handy developer settings tool.

And if you're also interested in being the first to test the new Instagram functionality, you can get access to the private chat here on telegram, access to the chat is subscription-based

Developer settings will be open on alpha versions, that are released almost every day, as soon as such a build is released, I will publish an apk with changelog in the chat as soon as possible

An additional feature for the mod — no ads

More information and conditions of subscription

Получайте новый функционал инстаграма первыми!

Открою маленькую завесу тайны, о том, как мне удается находить новые функции инстаграма. Если вы думаете, что я там работаю, или мне сливают приватные апк сотрудники, то вы ошибаетесь, все немного иначе.

Первая задача: получить доступ к настройкам разрабочика — их сотрудники инстаграма используют для тестирования нового функционала

Вторая задача: поиск новых настроек, так как инстаграм не предоставляет список изменений к каждому новому обновлению

Собственно далее нужно их просто активировать, в удобном интерфейсе настроек разрабочика

Если вам также интересно тестировать новый функционал инстаграма первыми, вы можете присоединиться к закрытому чату здесь в телеграме, доступ к которому вы получаете по подписке

Настройки разработчика будут открываться на альфа версиях, которые выходят практически каждый день, как только такая сборка будет выпущена, я кротчайшие сроки публикую в чате апк с ченджлогом

Дополнительная функция для мода — отсутствие рекламы

2022-01-19 13:48:14 Instagram is working on a «Go Back» button when switching accounts

If you accidentally switched accounts, or suddenly change your mind: you'll have a few moments to press the «Go back» button, this will immediately switch you back to your previous account

The account switch notification itself will also change and will be located at the bottom

Инстаграм работает над кнопкой «Назад» при переключении аккаунтов

Если вы случайно перешли в другой аккаунт, или вдруг передумали: у вас будет несколько секунд, чтобы нажать кнопку «Назад», которая сразу же переключит ваc на предыдущий аккаунт

Также изменится сам тип уведомления об переключения аккаунта, он будет находиться внизу Відкрити / Коментувати
