I haven't used Instagram regularly for weeks now, but I'm hoping the OG app helps me get a healthy relationship going again. Haven't been excited about a new app like this for quite a while now. @TheOGapp_

Instead of being able to shut the OG App down the only recourse Meta should have is to charge a reasonable fee for API access (capped at ARPU for an ad-supported enduser) https://t.co/lO5kwsWcoi

There are dozens of other apps in the top charts that

replicate Instagram's user experience that have been
there for years.
However, none of them provide extra features or a
better user experience. pic.twitter.com/l3qAMjb4gp
Imagine a world where privacy would have enabled open tech API, much like we have open banking & PSD2.

Instead we keep seeing big tech collude to keep their moats from new upstarts https://t.co/WgQ2gFKfwJ
Apple shouldn’t be enabling Meta. https://t.co/W2Diu0RpsO

Dear Apple: You're helping Facebook bully your users.

We are working on re-listing OG on the App Store.

Until then, to get an ad-free and customizable Instagram
experience, please download the OG app from the
Google Play Store.
Yesterday night, after we received 10,000 downloads,

were #50 on the App Store, and had an average rating
of 4.1 stars, Apple took us off the App Store.
Users chose OG over Instagram because we listened to
them and built what they wanted.
I like the idea of your app but isn’t it just massively breaching Instagram’s terms of use? pic.twitter.com/q7V7svJOMM

Meta has banned the personal Facebook (not linked to OG) and Instagram (linked to OG) accounts for everyone on our team, permanently.

Meta is intent on taking extraordinary measures to suppress and censor us simply because we did right by their users. pic.twitter.com/JOzJ81p81k
Installed and confirmed this app works. https://t.co/RhpCHDJqRR
