v0.0.12

0.0.12 (2026-10-16)

Features

• Instagram - Download any story: A video story you filmed gets Download as photo under Download now, which saves one still picture from it at full size. Download still saves the video. Asked for in #215.
• Instagram - Download any reel: New switch under Download, Download audio, off by default. It adds Download audio to a reel's menu, which saves just the sound as an M4A file to Recordings (Music on Android 11 and older). Asked for in #216.
• Instagram - Hide the Reels tab: New switch under Tab bar, Hide Messages on Home's header, off by default. It's for accounts that still have Instagram's Messages button at the top of Home and turned on Show the Messages tab, which leaves Messages in two places. Asked for in #210.
• Instagram - Show if a profile follows you: New switch under Profiles, Recent unfollowers, off by default. Scroll to the end of your own Followers list and anyone missing since last time shows under Who unfollowed you, with the date. Asked for in #208.
• Instagram - Show if a profile follows you: Recent unfollowers only reads the list Instagram already loaded, so nothing extra is asked of Instagram. The list stays on your phone, kept apart for each account, and Clear unfollower list wipes it. Asked for in #208.
• Instagram - Story ring size: Ring color has Teal now, a blue-green that stays easy to see on white and black pages alike. Asked for in #206.
• Instagram - Hide reels by caption words: New patch with a switch and a Blocked words list under Reels, off and empty by default. A reel in the Reels tab goes when its caption holds one of your words or phrases, hashtags included. Asked for in #192.
• Instagram - Hide reels by caption words: Case doesn't matter. Put a comma or a new line between words, so a list from Hushfeed pastes straight in. Reels you open from a profile, search or a chat still play. Asked for in #192.
• Instagram - Hide reels by caption words: Also on Home under the list hides posts on Home with those words in their caption too. That part needs Hide suggested posts in your build. Asked for in #192.
• Instagram - HushGram settings: HushGram's settings come in Italian when your phone is set to Italian. Like the other translations, it's a first draft that a native reader can still improve. Asked for in #194.
• Instagram - Download any video: New switch under Downloads, Save every page without asking, off by default. With Download button on feed posts on, a tap on a carousel saves all of its pages at once instead of asking which. Asked for in #190.
• Instagram - Show a reel's exact time: New switch, Show how long ago a reel was posted, off by default. It adds a line under the reel's time like 1d 2h 5m ago, in HushGram's language. Searching the patch's name finds both its choices now. Asked for in #195.
• Instagram - Hide the Reels tab: Tab order under Tab bar opens a new list, Show and reorder tabs. Check a tab to put it on the bar and drag its handle to move it. Reset brings back Instagram's tabs. Nothing changes until you tap OK. Asked for in #207.

Bug Fixes

• Instagram - Hide the Reels tab: Always Home opens Home again with your tabs reordered in Tab order, and after you swipe Instagram away from recent apps. Both used to open Reels. Coming back while Instagram is still open keeps you where you were. Reported in #55.
• Instagram - Hide the Reels tab: Start tab set to Search, Reels or Profile opens on its tab with the tabs reordered too. The diagnostic report counts each start and why a start tab was skipped. Reported in #55.
• Instagram - Keep a seek bar on Reels: With Seek bar like DM videos or Bigger seek bar on, the played part and the handle slide along steadily. They used to jump about ten times a second, as often as Instagram updates it. Reported in #10.
• Instagram - Glass tab bar: With Show content behind the tab bar on, a reel's comment box sat under the navigation bar until the keyboard came up, and other sheets could lose their bottom row. Sheets get their usual space back now. Reported in #209.
• Instagram - Keep a seek bar on Reels: A new reel's seek bar starts at the beginning right away. It used to show the last reel's spot for a moment and then jump back to the start, which was most of what you'd see when swiping quickly. Reported in #10.
• Instagram - Font: A color emoji font picked as the Font shows in the emoji row above the comment box now, not only in the box. That row used to keep Instagram's old emoji pictures, even after a restart. Reported in #166.
• Instagram - Font: A text font or a black and white emoji font leaves that row alone, since it would draw it in black. Emoji the file doesn't have still look like your phone's. Reported in #166.
• Instagram - Font: The bio under a profile's name takes the font you picked too. Instagram draws it with its newer text system, which loaded its own font and skipped the swap, and other text drawn that way follows now as well. Reported in #166.
• Instagram - Glass tab bar: Once Hide the tab bar on Reels slides the pill away, the reel runs to the bottom of the screen instead of leaving a black band where the pill was. It makes room again when the pill comes back. Reported in #170.
• Instagram - Hide suggested posts: Hide videos, Hide photos, Hide carousels, Hide posts you've liked and Hidden accounts now catch suggested posts on Home too. Instagram 451 wraps each suggested post in a unit those switches didn't look inside. Found while working on #192.
• Instagram - Hide the Reels tab: With Hide the Search tab on, the Search button on Home's header opens search again on phones that swipe between tabs. It used to show a note asking you to turn the switch off. Back returns to Home. Reported in #204.
• Instagram - Download any reel: The Download button beside a reel now uses Instagram's own icon made for that column, the one Save's is drawn from, so it's the same size and line weight as the buttons above it instead of bigger and bolder. Reported in #198.
• Instagram - Glass tab bar: With the floating glass bar on, a chat's message box sat too low, half under the keyboard or behind navigation buttons. Chats keep the right space again, and leaving one no longer leaves a black strip under the pill. Reported in #196.
• Instagram - Full screen Reels and Home: With full screen on, opening Instagram straight onto Reels, or coming back to Reels from HushGram settings or a chat, could leave black strips at the top and bottom until you switched tabs. Reels fills the screen either way now. Reported in #200.
• Instagram - Full screen Reels and Home: With Full screen Home on, the first tab you opened from Home, like Messages or your profile, slid up under the status bar until you switched again. That tab leaves room for the bar now. Reported in #203.
• Instagram - Show if a profile follows you: On a profile with no name, the Follows you or Doesn't follow you label sat on top of the post and follower counts. It takes the line where the name would be now. Reported in #157.
• Instagram - Full screen Reels and Home: With full screen on, the keyboard covered a reel's comment box, which sat one navigation bar too low once the keyboard brought that bar back. It sits right above the keyboard now, with the glass tab bar on too. Reported in #209.

Improvements

• Instagram - Clean up Reels: Pausing, playing or liking a reel with a tap, and tapping Save or Download, no longer bring Burn-in guard's faded buttons back. Other buttons, the caption, the bars and swiping to the next reel still do. Asked for in #162.
• Instagram - Clean up Reels: New Dim after choice under Burn-in guard sets how long it waits before fading, from at once to 10 seconds. It starts at 5, as before. Asked for in #162.
• Instagram - Clean up Reels: Burn-in guard dims a reel's seek bar now, and the time HushGram shows next to it fades along with it. The Not interested and Interested buttons under some reels fade too. Reported in #162.
• Instagram - HushGram settings: Searching for Download any video now also finds Download button on feed posts and the switch under it.
• Instagram - Hide the Reels tab: Listed under Interface in Morphe's patch list now, next to the glass tab bar, since most of its switches are about the tab bar. That keeps Reels short enough to scan with the new caption words patch in it.
