Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why can't I log in with my personal Instagram account?

Q: How do I connect my Instagram account?
A: Click "Login" in the app and authorize instaLive Wallpaper to access your Instagram Business account. You'll be redirected to Instagram's login page where you can safely enter your credentials. Follow the on-screen instructions until you are redirected back to the app.
Q: What permissions does the app need?
A: The app requests permission to read your Instagram media (photos and videos) and manage comments. This allows the app to display your photos as wallpapers and let you reply to comments.
Q: Can I reply to comments from the app?
A: Yes! Click on any photo to view its details, then click the "Reply" button next to any comment to respond directly from your desktop.
