To start, I opened up Instagram on my smart device and here's exactly what I saw:
It's a little bit complex, yet the switch under that's highlighted in blue? That's not the existing sight you have, even though that's definitely an usual interface convention. You get on the main feed which is accessed by the home button on the reduced left. Unusual, I know.

Successive, I'll tweak the Contrast given that I locate that on my apple iphone, at least, it's constantly just a bit below I favor:
