Facebook is Hollywood Archivesworking on a way for Instagram to work offline on Android.
At a session at Facebook's F8 developer conference on Tuesday, titled "Building Offline Experiences for Instagram," a software engineer described the new offline mode for Android.

"For people in low-bandwidth regions, we’ve begun testing offline experiences that keep the Instagram experience consistent and let people consume and engage with content, even if they don’t have service," the company said in the session's description.
The company has not yet announced the feature, but at least parts of it are already deployed in various regions. I was able to use the "like" feature in New York City, but none of the others. Instead of preventing you from liking posts when offline, the app now updates your likes when you're connected to the internet again.

Offline mode features include: much more cached feed content, liking and commenting offline, visiting profiles, unfollowing and includes support for the explore, activity and profile tabs.
