Honista Features

Honista features give you more control over how you use Instagram on Android. On this page you will find the main tools in plain language, from saving media to staying private, so you can decide which ones are useful for you.

The 10 Honista features at a glance

01. Downloading Media (Images, Videos)

With Honista, you can now easily download all images and videos from the Instagram platform using various methods. You can save a photo or video you like instead of taking a screenshot, and keep it on your phone to look at later. If a download does not start, try again after a short wait, and check that you have enough free space on your phone.

02. Downloading Stories

Honista provides you with the ability to download stories on Instagram with the highest possible quality. Saved stories keep their look, so you can come back to them when you have time instead of rushing before they disappear.

03. Zooming Profile Picture

Unlike Instagram, Honista supports the ability to zoom in on a user’s profile picture and download it as well. This is handy when a small picture is hard to see, and it saves you from guessing who is in the photo.

04. Developer Options

Honista offers dozens of options in what’s called Developer Options, allowing you to fully customize the application. Take your time with these settings, and change one thing at a time so you can see what you like best.

05. Copying Bio

By long-pressing, you can copy the Bio. It is a small shortcut, but it saves typing when you want to keep a bio or pass it on to someone else.

06. Knowing Who Follows You

With Honista, you can find out if a person follows you from their profile. That quick check can clear up confusion, especially if you are not sure whether someone still follows you. For the full picture — unfollower alerts, growth insights and what the tracker can never show you — see our Honista follower tracker guide.

07. Copying Comments

Long-press any comment to reveal the option to copy the comment. It is useful when a comment has a link, a name, or a phrase you want to keep for later.

08. Content Control

You can fully control the quality and type of content displayed in Honista. Lower quality can help on a slow connection, while higher quality is better when you want a clear picture.

09. Honista Features for Privacy

With Ghost Mode, you’ll get unprecedented privacy on Instagram, using the application without leaving a trace. You can choose what others can see, such as story views, so you can browse more quietly.

10. Limited Internet Usage

Among the options Honista provides is the ability to reduce the quality of content in the application, leading to reduced internet consumption. That can make the app feel lighter on a limited plan, and you can still catch up on the posts that matter to you.

Honista Features: Questions People Ask

Do Honista features work for everyday use? Yes, for most people the most useful ones are the simple ones: saving a photo or story you want to keep, checking a profile picture more closely, and choosing how much you share. Start with one or two tools, and add more only when you need them.

Do I need to pay for any Honista feature? No. Honista is free to download and use, and the features on this page do not need a subscription.

Which Honista feature should I try first? Start with media downloads or Ghost Mode — they are the two most-used features and the easiest to test. Add themes and other tools only when you need them.

Do Honista features work on iPhone? No. Honista is an Android app. There is no real Honista for iPhone — see our Honista for iOS explainer before trusting any iOS download link.

Will Honista features stop working after an Instagram update? Sometimes. Big Instagram changes can break a feature until the next Honista release, so keep the app updated to the latest version.

If you want the main download, start on the Honista APK home page. For a lighter build, see Honista Lite, and for older builds, see the old versions page. Honista is not the official app, so you can also check Instagram itself when you need the official version.
