ios – instagram login with new instagram graph api?

Instagram depreciates old Instagram Platform API. Graph API, extensively involved with facebook, is presented. But as far as I understand, it is not a replacement.

I only plan to use instagram for login purposes, like facebook login, in my app. However, I cant find a way to implement that with new graph api. Is it possible?

Note: I submitted a client with old platform api, but cant get a response for 2 weeks and counting.

Any help appreciated.

    With new Instagram Graph API, there is no Instagram login, if you have a converted your Instagram account to business account and connected to a facebook page, then you can login with that facebook account to retrieve that Instagram account, info, posts and stories.

    Graph API is not a direct replacement for the Legacy APIs, I dont think anymore Legacy API is getting approved

    I’m in the same boat, we submitted the Instagram app months ago, today it’s still “pending review” – and the new Graph API has no way to get user profile information and requires the user to login with Facebook anyway

    It isn’t clear on the legacy API page , but app’s are not getting approved for legacy API anymore

    someone has a detailed answer here : Will be Instagram login totally deprecated?

    It may be a little late, but I’m going to share our findings here as well hoping it clears things out for others facing the same issue. My original post is available in this Auth0 community thread

    I followed up the old API’s Instruction and generated a set of client
    key and secret. Then created a video demo of the app and submitted a
    review request on the old Instagram platform clearing out that I’m
    going to use this API only for the login process and just defining the
    basic scope to be reviewed. (Again all this happened on the old
    Instagram platform and not the new Facebook graph platform).

    After around 24 hours, they have approved my request: image

    I also figured out that the problem on the base scope on Facebook’s graph
    API (I stated above), will be resolved soon (early 2019) at least as
    far as they have promised in this document, which gives about a year
    time window before the old basic scope’s deprecation. Using the old
    API works perfectly inside the Auth0, but none of the scopes (other
    than the default selected basic) will be applied.

    Also here is the quote from Facebook’s announcement linked above:

    Support for Non-Business Profiles [FUTURE]: Basic permissioning for non-business profiles will be supported in early 2019.
