Can Instagram app work through a proxy on a smartphone?

Hello!

I have several smartphones in one WiFi network. So I'd like to use proxy servers to avoid ban from Instagram for using too many accounts from one IP address...

I'm going to get http proxies and setup these proxies on my smartphones (in WiFi settings under iOS and under Android).

I have heard that system proxy can be used only with system web browser. And apps including Instagram app connect to servers directly (bypassing proxy).

I have to know if the Instagram app can work through a proxy or not. Please, let me know.

Thank you in advance!

Only if your phone is rooted. Then you can use an app like Proxydroid.
