How to access Instander Developer Options?

Normally when you install Instander Apk the developer mode is disabled by default. You can turn it on by navigating to Instander settings. But simply turning it on does not show up its functions.

There is a catch to access all developer modes’ customizable options. First of all, download the Instander Apk latest version or update your existing version to the latest one. Then you can access all developer options as described below:

  • Login to your latest version of Instander
  • Find your profile picture in the right lower corner and open it
  • A new window will open, now tap on three dots (hamburger menu) in the upper right side
  • Find the option “Instander setting” and tap it
  • Scroll down you will see an option as { } Developer Mode, Turn it on
  • A new set of options will appear, just select “Get mobile Config”
  • A pop-up will appear, tap on “Update”
  • Now just restart the Instander app
  • Boom! You have enabled the Developer Options

After this, you will notice Instander developer options are still not showing. To see all of them you just have to long press the home button at the lower left corner. Keep the home icon pressed for 2-3 seconds and Instander Developer Options will appear on screen. Here you go to play with the app, Good luck!

Is it safe to enable Instander developer options?

Yes, it’s safe if you understand completely what options you are going to enable and which function of the app will be affected. If you blindly play with multiple options, the app’s functionality may be altered inappropriately.

Once you have altered it too much, Maybe you have to reinstall the app to reset all of its features. Instander may also crash when you opt for too many customizations. So, only enable or play with developer options if you know the app’s working or development.
