Please Liam we need this app back 😭🙏

Thank you very much for the mod. I've been using it since last year and it does indeed still work.
Two things to consider though:

1. If your account has F2A activated, you mostly won't get a verification code to be able to log in. Therefore I had to turn F2A off on my account.
2. As somebody mentioned, after a short time using your account on storysave, you will be automatically logged out, and sometimes there will even be a security challenge you have to pass, either on the web version of IG or on the official app, to be able to still use SSave. My account also got temporarily locked once, because of too much "suspicious activity", and I had to wait a few days and send a photo review through support to get it reactivated. I wish there'd be a way to mask SSave so that it won't trigger the security warnings.

we don't need to disable 2FA in order to login, just setup Google Authenticator as a method and use those codes instead, when it asks for OTP sent on your number.
