Can not install instagram app on iPhone 7 Plus

I’m using an iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 15.8.7. The App Store says instagram requires iOS 16.3 or later. I want to know if there’s any official way to install a compatible version.

Hello and welcome to Apple Community! ~Your inquiry about older iOS15.x

with iPhone 7+ was already answered in above. Recent Instagram 'app' to

access, change your account, requires newer iPhone & iOS16.3+ or newer.


That said, you may have limited access via Instagram's web site and check

contents of messages,etc. by using a Browser. See the following copied info:
