How to download APK from Instagram on Android

Downloading the Instagram APK file can be useful for installing the app on supposedly incompatible mobile phones or on mobile phones that do not have access to the Google Play Store, the Android apps store. As the social network does not make the file officially available, it is necessary to use alternative download sources, such as the APK Mirror website.

In the following walkthrough, here's how to download and install Instagram APK on your Android smartphone. Before starting, it is worth mentioning that although the APK Mirror website is known and reliable, the procedure involves risks, since it is done outside the official store. Also, if you want to keep the application up-to-date, you should do this frequently.
