About this app

Instagram Lite from Meta is a fast and smaller version of Instagram. Built to perform well on slower networks, use less mobile data and take up less storage space on your phone, Instagram Lite makes it easier to bring yourself closer to the people and things you love. Express yourself and connect with people over creative moments.

It's great! Personally, I prefer it over the regular Instagram — fewer bugs, less storage usage, and super easy to use for ordinary people who just want to spend their free time watching posts. But I really don’t get why it doesn’t have the “Add to collection” option for saving posts. I really need this feature! There are so many new options like liking stories, but still no way to save posts to a specific collection? Add it ASAP please!

9/19/2025 I still cannot add my stories to my highlights because the "add" process is taking too long 6/10/2025 I downloaded this lite version since it occupies lesser memory than Instagram but the problem is I cannot add any of my stories to my highlights because it takes sooooooooooooo long to process it. also when you save a post, it doesn't allow you to choose what folder to save it, nor does it allow to create a folder. In Instagram I can do both

well the in-app experience has been amazing so far but I don't understand and I'm confused as to why all of a sudden my newly created account is refreshed and I opt for appeal for account identification only for the app constantly showing this phrase "something went wrong" therefore unable to progress with my appeal for my account back. It's been frustrating through out the day so please I would like that being rectified so I can be able to get my account back. For that I leave just 2 stars ⭐
