When adding a picture to your story, swipe down instead of taking a picture. Your phone's pictures will show at the top of the screen. Normally Instagram limits this to pictures from the last 24 hours but Xinsta removes that limitation. Keep scrolling right to find older pictures.
[Xposed Framework Modules] dedo1996:
Ok thanks! But i see only last 24 hours photos..
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
Lock feed allows you to disable almost all touch events (Scrolling, like button, profile icon). This was requested as a privacy feature. Some people like to show friends and family a interesting image/video on Instagram, but their family members like to start scrolling down and looking at images/videos. Being able to lock a post is place solves this and protects you from embarrassment.
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
This feature since it was just added only supports the last three versions of Instagram. You may need to open XInsta -> Click GitHub and reboot to get the latest hooks (The hooks was added two days ago).

I've looked and can't see any indication of this, so I am going to have to ask, which scares me incase I missed the info I'm asking, lol.

In my PlayStore, the newest version of Insta is 9.4.0, but I can't find if this version is compatible with the newest XInsta.

[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
Yes, 9.4.0 is compatible with XInsta. You may need to open XInsta -> Click GitHub and reboot to get the latest hooks for said version of Instagram. If you still have issues after that open XInsta -> Three Dot Line -> Send Error Log.

Thanks for answering.

As for the feed sort? Can it be back to the way it's used to be? According to the time it was posted?
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
This has been requested before and I don't believe it is possible to change. The feed order is server-side, which means even older version of Instagram to my knowledge have the sort change. I have also hooked employee settings before and I have never found an option to revert the order sadly.

Option for Instagram app to not store search entries, pls
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
I looked into this and it appears like it is possible. I just have to find out where this information is stored. It appears to be somewhere on the device, but the Instagram source code also has an API request below. As you can see Instagram creates a new API class and then assigns "fbsearch/clear_search_history/" as one of the values. That would make me think information is also stored server-side. I will see if just removing the local cache/file regarding search history will get the desired results.

The hooks have been updated for Instagram 9.4.5 (401905). Instagram is once again being indecisive and reverting hooks (9.4.5, 9.5.0, 9.4.5). No hooks actually broke, the hook order was just defaulting to the 9.5.0 newer hooks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
I wanted to give everyone a heads up that I have a family member having surgery tomorrow and I will be assisting them for a few days while they recover. In terms of contacting me, the easiest way during this time will be email (Open XInsta -> Three Dot Line -> Send Error Log). The next update for XInsta is aiming at improving the modules stability and getting everything more user friendly.

Sony Xperia's are often reported as having issue with XInsta. I am working on getting a used Xperia M2 Aqua on eBay so I can make sure the module works well for Xperia users. The main issue is SD card support on the Xperia line. Marshmallow SD card saving kinda works in XInsta. For some users everything works great, but others users are having issues (Xperia's and Galaxy S5 in particular). Also, Marshmallow SD card saving is a little tricky with XInsta. I am looking to make a short video option that shows what you need to do.

This will be similar to how ES File Manager shows users how to enable SD card support. When a user uses the file manager to save to an SD card in Marshmallow it will have a dialog that has a demonstration playing along with options for "Continue" and "Cancel". Another change I will be making is regarding the new update checker. I have gotten a few request to check for an update by default when opening XInsta. This sound reasonable to me and all it will do is add an additional item to the listview.

I am working on getting the requested search privacy feature working too. As always, enjoy the module.

[Xposed Framework Modules] freekystar:
Good luck and take care.

On-topic: is it possible to add the following indicator color to the list of people you follow? So you can see if somebody follows you without visiting their profile? Or would that send too many requests to the Instagram-servers?

Another option would be in your feed (home button).
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
I am waiting at the moment (Family member in surgery), so I am looking into a majority of requests that have been made. The reason I avoid request like this is they require a lot of computing in a short amount of time. If you ever had issues with the follow indicator causing lag in the Instagram app (Issue in past) you will understand. Instagram likes to load in groups of 20 (20 posts, 20 comments, 20 usernames, etc). This means XInsta has to get the JSON results on the API request for a user. The JSON results are then parsed to look at the relationship to the user. When the user follows you it has a relationship of "followed_by".

After this XInsta has to find the textview the username is in and change the color. Now imagine this being done twenty times in one second. This works well on newer devices, but then users with older devices suddenly have issues with XInsta. I am not saying this feature is never going to happen, I am saying I worry about how it may affect the performance of older devices.

[Xposed Framework Modules] freekystar:
Hope it goes well with your family-member.

Is it possible to implement a side-module kind of thing where Xinsta is able to load in (experimental modules) so people can pick the features they wish to use? (Or just a simple copy XX files to XX folder installation kind of thing)

Then you would have the base application with the typical Xinsta features and users that like to try experimental features can install the one's they deem fit.
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
Maybe I will add an experimental section to the menu when you click the three dot line in XInsta. I am looking for a way to link everything. The API request occurs one place and then I have to link it to the textview that holds the username (Change color).

I have the latest Instagram installed, which is 6.21.2. When I press download, Instagram force closes. When I try to update hooks via PasteBin, XInsta force closes.

What to do?

I'm using on 4.4.4
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
Do you experience the same crash when updating the hooks via GitHub?
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
I thought I would give some information on the next update. I have the next update ready, but I am working with an individual who is experiencing crashes when updating hooks. I want to make sure I resolve his/her issue before releasing an update because I am unsure if this issue could become widespread. Also after trying and try I was unable to get a stable method of auto-playing videos. It is very iffy and don't believe it is stable enough to release. I apologize for any disappointment.
[Xposed Framework Modules] V4LKyR:
Yeah, Instagram force closes then.
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
XInsta 1.1d is now out! I squashed the bugs causing crashes when some individuals updated their hooks. The first issue was related to Pastebin. Pastebin uses Cloudflare to filter traffic. For some reason some individuals kept being filters by Cloudflare and being redirected from the hooks file located on Pastebin. This of course caused the app to not get the hook file and crash. I should have thought about this, but I am overall glad this issue is fixed.

The other bug related to crashing when updating hooks was something I overlooked. The last change was a UI change. I am incredible indecisive when it comes to the UI of the module. I am not sure why, but I just am. I am happy with the new UI of the module and it should stay like this for a while. Overall I hope everyone enjoys the module.

Fun Fact: Instagram broke three hooks with this update.

PS: Tap on comments will need an XInsta update to changes Instagram made. I am working on releasing the update soon.

PPS: My testing device died this morning (Samsung S Blaze 4G), so testing is tricky for me until I get another device. It was one of my first Android devices, so it lived for almost five years (Technically I had a Sidekick 4G for a week before it). I will see if I can get an emulator working for testing until I have another device (Xperia).
[Xposed Framework Modules] freekystar:
Try Genymotion (https://www.genymotion.com/) - Register for free account, download and install Genymotion and install the roms for the device(s) you need. The roms come rooted but they've removed ARMS translation and Google Apps in recent versions so you have to install that from:

ARM Translation package

You can drag-drop installation-packages onto the screen and it will reboot the rom. In case the screen just freezes and stands still killing adb.exe in task manager might help.

While using Genymotion I found out two things about Instagram and both happen with Genymotion turned on/off:

1) Instagram sends notifications to every device you own, even the one's that you have clicked on previously on another device.

2) If you delete chats on your phone and open up Instagram within Genymotion the chats are there EVEN the one's that you received while Genymotion was turned off. So either Instagram does not remove chats at all or sends a 'hard copy' to every connected device.

Off-topic: How did the operation of your family member go?

On topic: I thought of a new feature: I follow around 6000 users and try to be active and like their photos but it would save a lot of time if it was possible to see which photos you've liked already. I was thinking of an heart-overlay in the corner of the images like in the example below:
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
I have used Genymotion in the past so I will definitely look into it. The last time I tried to use it for Instagram I kept getting an "eMachine error" with one of the libraries Instagram uses, which caused Instagram to instantly crash. In terms of the family member everything is fine and they are back to normal activity/life. Your request depends on one vital thing. That is if Instagram stores the images/videos like information (True or false) in the activity you are in. Usually post information is not available in activities like this, but it is possible this activity has this information that I can hook.

I will look into it, but like always not promises.

The newest Instagram, 1.8.1 Xinsta and problem with hide suggests. I cannot send log file - I have got "Missing log error". I updated hook.
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
XInsta 1.8.2 is now out! First we have the addition of the search privacy option, which allows you to disable your search history (Explore tab). Next up we have the long awaited sponsored post removal/hiding feature. I want to make it clear that I did have to change a hook to prevent issues on older devices. The first hook I found was called about 300 times a second, which of course is a no-no.

I ended up switching to a hook that is called about five times per second, which should have little to no impact on performance. This new hook will always hide the content of the sponsored post. However, the first posts profile header (Has name, profile icon, etc) and body paragraph may be visible until scrolled past. Once the first sponsored post is scrolled past all continuing sponsored post will be hidden immediately (Until Instagram is restarted). For some sponsored post this doesn't apply and the first post is instantly hidden as well as the others.

It has to do with how Instagram loads the content and that the hook is able to see the post is sponsored. I also changed XInsta to check for updates by default when opened. When an update is available you will now see it added to the listview and it can be press to download and install the next update. I was getting a lot of emails requesting this since some people are still having issues with Xposed saying XInsta does not have any updates. Copy Comment on Tap should now be working nicely again. I know three versions ago Instagram broke this in a beta version, so in the future it may go back to its original state.

I also added some improvements to SD Card saving on Marshmallow. The first thing is users will now see a short video that lets them know how to give XInsta permission to save to SD Cards in Marshmallow (Via Document Provider). This should make it a lot more easier for users that are using Marshmallow+ and just can't figure out how to get SD Card saving working. Last the translations for a few languages have been updated.

XInsta reached fifty hook classes with this update. I will be slowing down on adding new feature because I do worry about having too many hooks and maintaining them all. Some hook classes rarely change (Dialog hook for download button injection has not changed in 59 versions of Instagram). However some hooks change constantly (Comment hook, profile hook, and stories hooks). One of my personal problems is I have a problem saying no to people. I have been trying to improve this about myself and this is the reason I was been replying to feature request with explanations of why a feature is not possible.

XInsta at the moment supports 222 versions of Instagram and I would love to support 222 more. However, I eventually have realize that XInsta was once only seven class hooks and now we are at fifty. I will still add new feature in the future. I am just going to be a little more selective. As always, enjoy the module.
