    I had to borrow an iOS device for some IoT setup because of this issue.

      @Rouxibeau isn’t it possible to download the apk? Like on APK mirror or other reputable source on the web? I remember there was also a website that grabbed the apk straight from the Play Store if the app was free.

      Or you can use Aurora Store if possible. That’s how I got Instagram Lite.
