Instagram → LiveContainer (iOS)

Redirect any Instagram HTTPS link (including instagr.am and ig.me DM links) to the LiveContainer app on iOS so it opens in your containerized Instagram. No tracking, no external requests—just smart link handling.

Author: @sharmanhall

What it does

  • Auto-redirects when you’re browsing instagram.com in Safari to LiveContainer.
  • Rewrites Instagram links on any site so tapping them opens Instagram inside LiveContainer.
  • Uses the LC scheme:
    livecontainer://open-web-page?url=BASE64(https://…instagram link…)
  • Adds a tiny lc=1 guard to avoid bounce loops.
  • Catches dynamically inserted links (MutationObserver) and uses a global capture fallback for delegated clicks.
  • iOS-only safeguard (won’t trigger on desktop).
  • Runs at document-start for quicker, more reliable redirects.
  • @noframes so embeds/ads in iframes aren’t touched.

Requirements

  • iPhone/iPad with Safari.
  • LiveContainer installed.
  • Instagram installed inside LiveContainer.
  • A userscript manager on iOS:
    • Tampermonkey for Safari, or
    • The free Userscripts app.

How to use

  1. Install/enable this userscript.
  2. Make sure Instagram is installed in LiveContainer.
  3. Visit any instagram.com page or tap an Instagram link anywhere.
    → Safari hands it to LiveContainer, which opens Instagram in the container.

Options (edit at top of script)

  • VERBOSE – console logging.
  • AUTO_REDIRECT_ON_INSTAGRAM_PAGES – bounce automatically when already on Instagram.
  • REWRITE_LINKS_ON_ALL_PAGES – intercept Instagram links anywhere.
  • ADD_LC_FLAG – append lc=1 to prevent back/forward loops.

Privacy

  • No analytics, no remote calls.
  • Operates entirely on-device by intercepting clicks and changing navigation.

Known limitations / notes

  • This script targets first-party Instagram HTTPS domains: instagram.com, instagr.am, and ig.me.
    It does not chase l.instagram.com redirects or generic shorteners.
    If a page exposes an expanded URL attribute pointing to Instagram, the script will use it.
  • Some Instagram paths (Reels, Stories, DMs) rely on the app’s universal link handling. Behavior can vary by version when run inside LiveContainer.

Uninstall / disable

  • Turn off the script in your userscript manager.
  • Or set AUTO_REDIRECT_ON_INSTAGRAM_PAGES = false to keep browsing the website but still rewrite links elsewhere.

Changelog

  • v0.5 – @run-at document-start, @noframes, double-hook guard, global click fallback, safer Base64, expanded URL support.
  • v0.4 – First public release: auto-redirect, link rewriting, loop guard, dynamic link handling, iOS check.
