Supporting

SCInsta takes a lot of time to develop, as the Instagram app is ever-changing and hard to keep up with. Additionally, I'm still a student which doesn't leave me much time to work on this tweak.

If you'd like to support my hard work, just share a link to this tweak with others who would like it! Seeing people use this tweak is what keeps me motivated to keep working on it ❤️
