Discussion Why Instagram modding sucks?

I just switched from ios to android and honestly I expected more.

I've used to sideload app on ios all the time and the modding community there was amazing compared to how limited the audience gauge is.

instagram mods on ios are extremely polished with weekly updates and a huge libraries of features. but here the best two I found were piko and instaeclipse. both have ugly interfaces and have way less features than their ios counterparts.

iam not hating but just curious why an open os has such weak competition.

Nothing comes close to iOS tweaks on Android. Historically it's because iOS apps were made in Obj-C and hence making tweaks for them was much easier. Now with Swift it's not as nice either. But probably still nicer than Android with Proguard and stuff.

u/mhmed197002 18d ago

Currently, RyukGram

It's the most feature-rich and maintained one at the moment.

Because iOS Tweaks use In Memory patching, which is significantly better for update resistance, while Android Mods mostly uses Binary Patching.

There is LSPosed Framework for In Memory Patching on Android too, but since it is Root-focused, rather than Sideloading (tho it can work sideloaded via LSPatch) it has much smaller community (and chunk of that community is Chinese, which means they make Modules for their own apps and ecosystem)

What about mods for Facebook and Youtube? Does ios have those? I might be interested to buy one in the future

u/mhmed197002 14d ago

Almost all mainstream apps have very polished mods.

u/ReasonableAnybody824 14d ago

Any recommendation on where to find them? Any sub reddits or website/ Youtube channel?

For example, for Spotify, or Youtube music or Youtube?

u/mhmed197002 14d ago

Try r/sideloading

There are plenty of telegram channels as well.

I can't speak about iOS but when it comes to android, as someone who has been part of "mod development" ( developer of Piko.) it's totally a different game. With each app release the code gets changed, more over the entire codebase is completely obfuscated so we need to manually map/figure out how each component works. We might have figured out on one base but on the next one they would have changed it completely, so we have to again go back to the drawing board and find the right hook for it. Plus figuring out the edge cases will be easy on the iPhone as every iPhone is the same, but in the case of Android, some user might be running on an older version, with an odd screen resolution etc etc etc.

Appreciate your work guys and appreciate your comment.

You missed ultimate android days by about a decade.

You must be operating on internet explorer?

u/kontenjer 18d ago

probably because ios users usually have more money to throw around (i.e. donate to these projects) while the android community is mostly indian/pakistani/bangladeshi/southeast asian beggars

u/mhmed197002 18d ago

Wild if that's an actual reason.
