Welcome to the Instagram for Android Alpha Program

Before you download the alpha app, here’s what you can expect:

The alpha version will replace the regular Instagram app on your phone.
Alpha is not for the faint of heart--features will come and go, crashes will be introduced and fixed, and designs may go through many iterations
The alpha version will look and behave differently than what ultimately gets shipped in a general release--we are continually testing and experimenting on alpha
You can leave the program at any time and go back to using the regular version of Instagram. Learn how.
