This option sets the bitrate of any video uploaded through Instander up to 12 Mbps. The video you record will be sent to Instagram servers where it will be compressed and processed. The results of those actions are loss in quality and bitrate.
Instander can’t guarantee you that video in the Stories will be exactly with 12 Mbps bitrate due compression algorithm of Instagram servers.

Where is Instander’s source code? Why don’t you publish it?
Because Instagram for Android isn’t open-sourced, to begin with, it means we have no obligations to publish source code due to the lack of a license that would require us to do it. Ask Instagram to publish their source code, and then Instander source code might be published.
Open source modifications are not a good idea in general because you don’t want to see Instander with all its features and without any credit to the_dise, right? We also don’t want to see that. It devalues labour, and it really is demotivating.
If you are a technical specialist, you can make sure that Instander is safe by yourself. All you have to do is analyze the app’s outcoming traffic.
Since May 2020, there was not been a single case of account hijack/password stealing where it would be proved that Instander is directly responsible for that.
