Barinsta is an unofficial and open source Instagram clone that does not require an account

If you need Instagram, but don’t want to use the official app, Barinsta is an unofficial Instagram client which you can use in simple mode – without logging in or as a more complete alternative, by logging in with your account.

Barinsta is touted as an Instagram alternative for those who need to keep up to date with what’s happening on Instagram, but without most of the app hassles like ads, suggestions, or tabs. It is an open source application that you can use without logging into your account

To view Instagram, without Instagram

The first time you open Barinsta the result is a bit disappointing. Accustomed to the festival of tabs, icons, stories and colorful publications that is supposed to open the official Instagram app, at Barinsta they welcome us two tabs, a text and a button.

This is so, without logging in, Barinsta does not have a news or bio sectionInstead, you can view the profiles of specific people. If these people have the profile open, you can view it without having to log in. Otherwise, you need to login with your Instagram account. To view a profile, you must use the search engine at the top.

To avoid having to repeat playback each time you open the app, you can add profile to favorites, so that you can consult it again later, from the list of favorites accessible from the tab More.

Otherwise, Barinsta displays a user’s profile the same as Instagram, supporting posts with photos and videos as well as carousels with several photos. When you tap a photo, it opens wide, allowing you to see the tagged location, descriptive text, hashtags, and comments (by pressing the button).

This, without opening an account. If you log in with an Instagram account, Barinsta benefits from some of the features of Instagram, as well as allowing you to interact, as well as view Instagram content. After logging into Instagram, Barinsta gains a few more tabbed accounts: direct messages, wall, profile and explore

Once the session has started, Barinsta allows you to make basic use of Instagram, being able to see the biography in grid mode, the Recent stories from the accounts you follow and even reply to your messages.

If you use Barinsta without signing in is a “psychic” app, by signing in you can not only see other people’s posts, but also write comments (without liking a photo). The app has the additional function of power upload any photo easily.
