Wow you really did your research good job. Not many people know this but the Android version of Instagram is inferior to the iOS version. Instagram was on iOS before Android so it is better optimised because it is easier to do it for one iPhone. Instead of a dozen Android models.
Yeah, I kinda get that (and I have worked as an app developer so I can understand the process) but I would expect a big company, such as IG, although they have many features, would be more careful with what they release.
