A functional Instagram clone developed in React Native. This project allows you to explore how some of its main features are implemented. It is compatible with Expo Go and requires no additional configuration or development build. Discover and experience Instagram’s features and functionality in this application.
While the front-end is fully functional and allows interaction with the app similar to Instagram, the back-end is implemented solely with Firebase as a prototype. This means that security and the handling of sensitive data are not optimized for production environments, so it is recommended to use it only for educational and experimental purposes.
