Be careful with sharing this URL in your Instagram DMs. I built something similar a few weeks ago for watching Instagram reels, shared a link to it with someone on Instagram, and my account instantly got suspended because this type of stuff violates Instagram's TOS and they crack down really hard on it.
How can that be, aren't Instagram Dms end-to-end encrypted, curious on how they find these kind of messages
They make the app that stores the plaintext at each end... they don't need to decrypt your messages across the wire to read them.
Ah I understand now, thank you. So they can actually read it just not in transit but from the app, isn't that a security violation?
