This patch should allow more control on what content is shown on Instagram. I want to be able to configure the app to make my experience with the app healthier. I cannot easily move away from it as I use it to promote my art and use it to talk to people and make connections on it.
Patch
I'll use a bullet point list to make my ideas clearer.
Ability to remove/hide buttons on the bottom bar, such as Explore, Create Story and Reels. Perhaps hidden buttons have to be accessed through the hamburger button.
Ability to hide the "Suggested for you" section
Ability to only show posts from those you follow
Ability to disable read receipts from yourself
Ability to disable seeing read receipts from others
Ability to hide suggested/popular search terms
Whitelist or blacklist hashtags from appearing in explore, example: whitelisting #cats
Ability to hide the story views
Motivation
My motivation for this patch request is to create a configurable and healthier social media experience for those that use Instagram. I'm trying to reduce the anxiety and compulsions involved with it.

There's overlap between my patch request and https://github.com/revanced/revanced-patches/issues/1246 but I am offering more options that I'd like to have within the app.
