v17.5: The storiesig feature works intermittently as it can be blocked by Instagram at random times. Moving on, be reminded that any service that allows you to read stories without logging in has a bot account and is subject to strict Instagram limits (Imagine you only have 1 bot account but have to handle requests for 1000 users). Please use it responsibly.

Also, Instagram Reels was launched yesterday, *hours before* Trump issuing the order banning TikTok and WeChat. While I support restricting services that are detrimental to our privacy and behaviour, I strongly believe that the timing of the two events is not coincidental, and given allegations [1], if my suspicions are proven correct, I must condemn the act of the Trump administration literally replacing "Chinese surveillance" with American surveillance: There is NO "less bad of the both", and Facebook poses an equivalent (if not even graver) threat on privacy and behaviour. Hereby, I reaffirm that InstaGrabber will ONLY send requests to Instagram if you explicitly requested content or made an interaction. No shady business.

* Ammar Githam (WildFyre) has joined the team, effectively ending the single-maintainer status of this app.
* As I go back into college (2020 is already bad enough), updates will become less frequent, and DM features will take a bit longer. I'll still try to do bug fixes ASAP though.

It is no longer recommended to use #suggestion or #bug in group chat (as those do not aid me finding them at all). You should either post them on GitHub issues or by email instagrabber@austinhuang.me. You can still send them in the group chat when I am online (Normal EST hours)
