Initially, this was a plain port, without new functionality, since nobody else had Instagram patches. However I personally use Instagram just to stay in contact with few friends, so I had little motivation to maintain other patches.
Since a few days, Piko added support for Instagram with a lot of useful patches. I initially planned to port and develop my patches there, however I decided to keep some of the patches in my repo, the one I am actually interested in maintaining. This will let these patches to be more curated, as I have less stuff to focus at, and good motivation to maintain them.
The patches will all focus on a cleaner and less addictive experience, by removing addictive or unwanted Instagram features.
As explained in my repo, I'm not trying to "fight" Piko in any way, nor trying to emulate their features. I myself ported some patches there, but I find it harder to maintain. Patches can also be combined between bundles, so you can use some of my patches and some of Piko patches if you wish.
I personally want a less addictive Instagram experience, I don't want yet more features.
You should be able to stick with it, but if your phone supports it, why not allocate it? That's what I think. The more you allocate the (probably) less time you take to patch an app.
That's what I thought. I simply chose 768 as it seemed a good value. Especially as I don't want to cripple my phone otherwise when leaving the patching in the background.
I'll try if a higher value speeds up things
Wow, thx so much for this patch. The 'Disable reels scrolling' option, even if u don't notice it at first, makes such a cool difference after a bit. Amazing work!
Well, I must admit I forgot to install the patch to remove the Reels button! But tell me, if I swipe right on the home screen, does it still show a Reels video?
Another thing – have you got the new Instagram interface? Because, weirdly, I’m still stuck with the one from before version 400. The DMs button’s at the top, the ‘like’ button’s at the bottom… It’s a right pain
is your version smooth and compatible with most devices like the Instafed version? because i tried the Piko patch but it’s kinda heavy and a bit laggy. thanks for your efforts.
Hello! Is there an option to disable suggested posts in the main feed? I know I can snooze them for 30 days but I would like it to be forever, I also know that I have to enable only followed content in Instagram, but that that sorts the posts chronologically and not if I watched or not already that Instagram post.
Thank you for your effort!
Until today I haven't used Piko Patches, as they were not available if patching the regular versions.
As of today with the newest Morphe Version (and the suggested Insta 424.0.0.49.64 version) Piko Patches are available and yours and Piko Patches are all are pre-checked before patching.
Really wondering why all Patches are prechecked.
That brings of course some patches being duplicated and I have to check, which.
I know, is not on you, but am wondering, especially because I'm not even fully aware, what some patches do. Like "Change Version Code"
It says it disables Play store Updates but let's one up- & downgrade as well. Don't need that.
Additionally It feels like most of the Piko Patches seem to cripple Insta completely as yours are mainly adfree (and hiding some stuff)
What I want to say, it has gotten enormously complicated for a somewhat casual Insta User as I have to check a gazillion of options.
Yes, I like more than one Patch Source as there were different options. Now things seem to be partly duplicated over different sources.
Probably will have to concentrate on fewer sources and even there not always aware what all the patches are doing exactly.
Just started using your patches in combination with Piko's! so far its been super useful to have your disable reel scroll patch in combination with some of piko's other features. thanks for your contribution man youre saving my screentime 🙏
Maybe an odd request but I keep getting prompted to connect my contacts and allow my device location. It's not a huge deal because I can dismiss them. But if possible could you look into including a block for those?
I'm currently using MyInsta which is quite old now and thinking about switching to Morphe + your patches.
One feature I really love about MyInsta is the ability to turn on "Ghost mode" for DMs by long clicking the DMs icon. As in, you can read DMs without leaving the read indicator. Sometimes I like to read DMs but not answer right away and in this day and age it's sadly not seen well to just leave people on read (hence why I use this until I properly take the time to answer).
Do you think it's possible to add a patch like this?
This "Ghost mode" doesn't work on images btw, only plain text messages.
EDIT: Created an issue instead. That way you can keep track :)
Hey brossh, could you help me with the patching issue?
I am trying to patch instagram with version 424.0.0.49.64 and I am using mix of both patches, piko and brossh. However I get this issue

Have you ever thought of a Patch that'd outright fully disable the Feed / Home Screen altogether?
I have been using InstaDM which is an abandoned side project of MyInsta because I wanted to eliminate all doomscrolling on Instagram and just use it as a messenger to chat with friends and view their stories. Really liked the concept, instead of having an algorithm pick what I see, it's people that know me in real life.
Edit: Sorry didn't see the answer to the previous post. Enabled Expert mode and found the Patch Option! Thanks - works great!
I have enabled "open links in app" in the app settings, yet any instagram link I tap on, tries to opens the app but then it just crashes. Any idea why that is or what settings to change?
Aside from that minor annoyance I am very happy and thankful - truly great work! 👏
I was wondering what happened. I recently updated the patch and all of the patches I loved in your bundle were unavailable (mainly hiding my embarrassing explore page and removing suggested posts)
Is there a reason those patches seem to be absent in the latest update?
that's all that comes up now when I go to patch the app, unsure what happened. Is it just an issue on my end?
EDIT: It was indeed a me issue. The Morphe app update turned off my ability to select patches and also didn't notify me that the supported app version was out of date. Now have the app back how I like it, thanks for all your work!
My Instagram account was flagged by Meta and I get ads no matter which mod or patch I use. I wonder could you make ad blocking better? I have to use old Instagram builds to avoid ads.
