đź”§ DIY: Turn Instagram into Instagram, Not Adstagram

:world_map: One-Line Flow: Block every damn ad, stop Insta and Snap from tattling, and take back your digital peace — Android only.


:prohibited: Why Bother?

Instagram and Snapchat have turned into full-blown ad machines.
Pop-ups, upsells, and “we saw your story” snitches everywhere.
So here’s how to shut them up — clean, quiet, and 100% Android.


:gear: What You’ll Use

Two magical tweaks:

  • InstaEclipse – blocks ads, hides “seen” receipts, and declutters the app.
  • SnapEnhance – does all that plus downloads stories, saves chats, records calls, and more.

:mobile_phone: What You’ll Need

Only Android. No root, no cables, no black magic.

Free tools:


:puzzle_piece: Quick Breakdown

Think of LSPatch as a safe mod tool.
It tweaks your apps without rooting your phone.
That’s it. You patch, install, and flip a few switches.


:wrench: Setup Steps

  1. Install Shizuku, turn on developer options, and start its service.

  2. Install LSPatch, go to Manage, and patch your target app with:

    • :white_check_mark: Local patch mode
    • :white_check_mark: Inject Loader Dex
  3. Delete the original app.

  4. Install the patched version.
    :warning: Don’t open it yet — seriously, wait.


:camera_with_flash: For Instagram

  1. Open the patched Instagram once, log in, then close it.
  2. Force-stop it.
  3. Install InstaEclipse from: https://github.com/ReSo7200/InstaEclipse
  4. Enable it for Instagram in LSPatch.
  5. Reopen Insta → long-press the search icon → welcome to your new ad-free, private world.

:ghost: For Snapchat

  1. Don’t open the patched app yet.

  2. Install SnapEnhance: https://github.com/rhunk/SnapEnhance

  3. In SnapEnhance → Settings → Experimental → Spoof:

    • Turn Play Store Installer Package Name → ON
    • Add a random 16-digit hex in Android ID
    • Toggle Spoof → ON
  4. Now log in and enjoy stealth mode.
    (If you skip the spoof step, you’ll probably get autoblocked — I learned the hard way.)


:warning: Final Words

These mods are wild, but not invisible.
Snapchat especially has trust issues.
Use at your own risk — and maybe not on your main account.

Control, freedom, and no more tattletale alerts.
Just the apps… on your terms.

Use SNAPENHANCE on your own risk, since there are high chances of getting your account banned
