There is no reason to require this setting for users who aren’t posting live videos.
I only use Instagram to look at the reels my family sends me, I don't allow myself to use it for anything else because you can easily waste 2 hours and feel miserable afterwards. What I like about Lemmy is I can get through all new posts for the day in at most 20 mins and maybe learn about some interesting while I'm at it.
gee, guess i'll just have to continue never using it, then...
If they don’t already have rules about this, Google and Apple should update their store rules to prevent this crap.
Instagram no longer allowed to be installed on my phone, how is that for a deal, Meta?
I wonder if saving the website as an app would work around this restriction?
This does appear to be a functional workaround atm (the mobile website via safari app allows me to post photos to stories) but the editor is severely gimped so you can’t resize images and such. Desktop version doesn’t seem to allow you to post stories at all. If I NEED to share something perhaps I’ll use this.
all meta's apps are suck ngl. i hate the way i can't paste image from clipboard in whatsapp chat without giving whatsapp permission to manage my storage.
iOS plus Facebook
The "dream" combo
I believe that there's some app out there for Android that lets one create a spoofed environment for apps that demand certain permissions to function. Returns bogus data to them. Might require a rooted device, though.
goes looking
Yeah.
I think I'm thinking of XPrivacyLua, which requires Xposed, which in turn requires a rooted device.
EDIT: all that being said, I do think that if practicable, it is kind of an argument to use something other than Instagram, and more broadly, to try to keep use on a personal computer rather than phone, where it's easier to deal with or avoid shennanigans like this.
Technically Graphene OS can do this
Hostage permissions
This is why I really like grapheneos. They've created scoped permissions, so the operating system tells the application Yes you can see this thing, but it's empty. Right now they've implemented scoped storage, and scoped contacts. So if it tries to extort you to see your entire contact list you can limit it to an empty list, a very limited list, or everything if you don't care
Sadly Is pixel only... right?
Yup
And no tap to pay or wallet, so I can't switch :(
Yea, but it's a good phone to target, Pixels are one of the few remaining manufacturers that freely let you unlock the BL and probably one of the last that is carried by nearly all major US carriers. OnePlus used to be another but iirc they've stopped selling on all carriers stores
Yes yes yes, you can buy any frequency-compatible phone you'd like from like Amazon, AliExpress, Best Buy, manufacturer store etc but that's an expensive option for many as you have to front the entire purchase price with little exception.
So if you want a BL unlockable phone, purchased through a carrier to take advantage of the reduced financial load of payments instead of all up front, in the US...it's pretty much just Pixels
I was interested because everyone keeps talking about it and I wanted to try it myself but it's compatible only with pixels. I have a Samsung and I changed phone recently so I'm not going to buy it again. I don't want to spend 600+ for a new phone + 2/300? (100?) for the buds but my next phone will be a pixel🤔
Oof, yea Samshits are the worst of the worst. They're actively hostile to those who would dare want to use their phone how they see fit.
Even if the stars align and people are able to breakthrough the BL lockdown, Samshit phones are designed to blow an efuse and permanently lock the phone to 80% battery capacity just for a big ol fuck you
Never EVER buy Samshit phones if you can help it
It's only guaranteed to work with pixels. It still works with other phones, but with varying degrees of success and obviously no official support.
Oh... If there's no official support and problems, I'm not going to install it

I checked, yeah you're right, nobody else supports scoping
Oh! I meant grapheneOS, It looked interesting and I wanted to install it on my phone
I installed it earlier this year on android. But it wouldn't let me sign in or browse without syncing my contacts from my phone.
So I uninstalled it.
That is the healthy choice
