I don't see any ads in Story. How to reproduce it correctly? Maybe I am missing something

我在 Story 中沒有看到任何廣告。如何正確重現？也許我錯過了一些東西

what's your instagram version?

This version 349.3.0.42.104 from apkmirror:

It may have been caused by the update of the hide ads fingerprint #3455

@KEVIN970712 For now you can patch either the latest version. Or patch using a computer, command prompt, CLI tools, and use the 4.11 patches.

You can find instructions in the CLI repo here on GitHub, but if you're unfamiliar with command prompt then I would not bother.

Try patching the latest Instagram as previously mentioned. Edit: I overlooked that you already tried.

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

I overlooked that you already tried the latest. In that case it must be something with the hide ads patch and something different with your Instagram account or region.

Will have to wait until someone that's familiar with fixing Instagram can reproduce the issue.

I think I can share with you how I discover this problem,maybe it can help you to find&fix the bug.
Yesterday,I wanted to update Instagram revanced,so I used adb to pull out apk,then repatched lastest Instagram revaned.After that I found this issue,I used adb command install previous pull out apk,still had ads.

[LisoUseInAIKyrios]

You should not use adb to get the source apk.

You probably patched the app twice, which can cause all kinds of issues.

This no longer sounds like an issue with the patches but an issue with how you installed.

I actually faced this issue since i created my old issue here #3614
My bad it was wrong screenshot.
My newest report is i patched instagram version 349.3.0.42.104 from APKMIRROR, and installed it freshly. Then scrolling home feeds and i get ads appear.

See screenshot above, it's actually random ads, tap 3-dot menu on right corner then see it's instagram ads appear.

I found another phone I had installed Instagram revanced before,this time I used "apk analyze" to export apk,then install to my phone,the ads magically disappeared.
So maybe is the latest patch issue?

@KEVIN970712 try patching either using revanced cli or manager, pick latest stable apk from apkmirror (from my link above) and see. I don't see any ads in my Instagram account.

@LisoUseInAIKyrios do you think it's region ads or Instagram pushing random ads to selected users (a/b testing in YouTube)?

@LisoUseInAIKyrios told you to not to pull out apk from the phone. It could be split apk.
You need download full apk from apkmirror.com and patch it

It must be one of those. I don't use Instagram so I would never know.
