How did this app get on my phone?

Having a little difficulty getting rid of it.

Amazingly great!

I’ve used this app for many years, since it first came out. I can still even in 2025, transfer files between my iOS 4 devices to my current iOS 15 device with no issue. Love it, and love the fact it has amazinggggg old OS support, in a time when other devs don’t care about anyone with an older device. Instashare is here to the rescue! Thank you, you helped me transfer my long lost photos :) much love from USA 💚

A better Air Drop!

This is a better Air Drop than Apple’s! My default Downloads folder isn’t the default and in Air Drop that’s normally a problem. Instashare is rock solid and very configurable! Great utility.
