Typed on a Samsung device. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what typeset that is. As far as I could tell it's none of the obvious ones.

It is the most obvious one: https://about.instagram.com/brand/type

don't feel bad, sometimes there are just too many trees to see the forest

Ok so! I've actually been to that page, and was thinking I had found it, however, look at the Q and the I:

The Q in the table has a piggy-tail absent in the original, and the I has serifs, that's what threw me off. But looking at the table longer, everything else does seem to match...

Weird, but anyway, I think we can conisder this solved, thanks!

wha... I thought it'd be that simple, but no.

Apparently they have multiple revisions of that typeface. Interestingly, all variants on the page except their condensed variant has the quirky Q. Even the condensed bold has it, but not the condensed regular.
