Description

Currently, downloaded Instagram media is saved with generic filenames (e.g., IMG_1234.jpg), which makes it difficult to identify where the content came from. For users who save posts from multiple accounts, this results in a messy and unorganized media library.

Describe the solution you'd like

Implement a filename format that includes the Instagram account’s username when saving media. For example:
• @username_postID.jpg
• @username_2025-09-05_1530.mp4

This could be:
• Enabled by default, or
• Added as a toggle in the tweak’s settings, allowing users to choose between default iOS filenames and account-based filenames.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using external renaming scripts or iOS Shortcuts after downloading (not ideal, adds extra steps).
