Unfortunately, the sharing quality of Instagram, one of the world’s most popular social media networks, sometimes falls short. Of course, this also has something to do with the phone we use. But when you think about it, it’s really unfair.
But it is possible to reverse this unfair situation, moreover, on all phones. In this article, freelance journalist Bilgehan Bilge explained how you can improve the quality of posts by tampering with the developer settings of Instagram.
How to improve the quality of posts shared on Instagram? (Obviously it’s a bit difficult)
There are two ways you can do this without downloading any extra apps. One of them works if your device is rooted and the other is unrooted. What you need to do in the rooted method is to download and install the IGExperiments tool on your phone. Then you need to allow this app to access Instagram.
After performing these operations, you will see the developer settings when you enter Instagram. However, with this method, you can only share high-quality images on the Instagram version that IGExperiments allows.

This process really requires some effort, but it’s worth it in the end because like IGExperiments, you can increase the image quality as you wish, not only in the allowed version range, but also in every Instagram version you want. Having said all this, let’s explain:
What we should do first:
- Download APK Tool on your computer and install it in CWindows directory
- Download the APK of the version of Instagram you want to use
- Open command prompt by pressing Windows key and typing ‘CMD’
- Copy the directory of the folder where the APK is located
- After entering the ‘cd folder location’ command at the command prompt, start the process with the ‘apktool d instagram.apk’ command
- After the process is complete, go to the folder APK Tool created and open the ‘Assets’ folder and delete the ‘drawables.bin’ file.
- – Open the res/values/styles.xml file and search for “InThreadComposerTextArea” and delete the line: “When you go to the internal directory @color/igds_tertiary_text, you can now see that you have the developer settings and you can breathe a sigh of relief.
How to share high quality posts on Instagram?
- Access the ‘MetaConfig Settings & Overrides’ section.
- Type ‘High quality upload setting’ in the search field and search.
- Change the values in the bitrate according to yourself and the performance of your phone, and choose the one that will work for you (20 is an ideal option for 1080p and 1440p videos. You can choose 30 for 4K videos, but Instagram is crazy at a value above 25)
- Go to Instagram’s Settings, click the Cellular Data Settings tab, and turn on the high resolution upload option.
- You can now post high quality posts to Instagram.
