The public beta version of Instander 18 is finally here after a long wait. The Instander developer had to do a lot of work to get to this point, with practically everything redesigned and rewritten from the ground up.
While not perfect yet, this beta release marks a major milestone.
Completely Redesigned
The Instander mod has undergone massive changes in this latest release. The structure and logic have been altered, and the modification code has been completely rewritten. This has led to improvements across the board but also the potential for new bugs and issues.
A True Beta
Instander 18 is very much a beta release. There will likely be errors, flaws, and bugs since not everything has been fully tested and vetted yet. Those who want to avoid dealing with potential issues should wait for the full, stable release.
Reporting Bugs
If you run into problems, there is now an “Instander Issues” section in the app settings. You must fill out the error reporting form – do not message the developer directly. The list of known issues can be found here: List of Known Issues.
English Only Interface
The Instander settings and features are currently English only. Many strings have been updated so old translations no longer apply. If you want to help translate, use the Translate tab in Settings.
No Clone Version
There will not be a clone version of Instander 18 beta. Clones will only be available with the stable release.
Massive Changes
The full list of changes would be far too long to publish here. Simply explore the latest version yourself to get an idea of just how much is new and different. Everything from the visual design to core features has been looked at.
Help Shape Development
The purpose of this public beta is to get feedback from users to help shape the final release. Be sure to report any issues or suggestions through the proper channels. Your input could lead to meaningful improvements in Instander.
Exciting Future
While still a work in progress, Instander 18 beta shows a promising future. The developer has invested immense effort into modernizing the popular Instagram mod. Once bugs are resolved, the stable version should provide an even more polished experience. For now, try out the beta and lend a hand in improving it further.
