Description
Bring the spark back to Instagram!
Sparkle is a Theos tweak that reshapes the iOS Instagram app around you. Download any media, keep a private on-device gallery, recover deleted messages, run each account with its own settings, analyze your followers, and strip out the ads, AI, and annoyances.
By default, long-press the Home tab or the Profile settings button to open Sparkle Settings. You can also enable Show Settings on App Launch. If you hide the Home tab, the long-press automatically moves to another visible tab so Settings is always reachable.
For the full list of features, check out FEATURES.md.

Playback controls for stories and reels, Instants you can watch without marking them seen, hidden chats, a custom Friends Map location, reels that stop instead of looping, links that open in Safari, and downloads that keep going when you leave the app.
Languages now download and update right inside Sparkle's settings, with eight new ones for 24 in total. No more importing packs from the release page.
Also: Story and Message Preview working again, a crash fix for the deleted messages log, and many smaller fixes and improvements.
