Instagram uses Chrome but is parsed as Mobile Safari

I thought all iOS apps had to use the built in Safari web view. Even Google Chrome on iOS has to.

interesting. However Safari doesn't implement window.performance, so this cannot be Safari.

I am seeing this same issue as well, the user agent

Instagram 7.8.0 (iPhone5,3; iPhone OS 9_0_2; en_US; en-US; scale=2.00; 640x1136) AppleWebKit/420+

Gets parsed as

"user_agent" : {
        "name" : "Mobile Safari UIWebView",
        "os" : "iOS 9.0.2",
        "os_name" : "iOS",
        "os_major" : "9",
        "os_minor" : "0",
        "device" : "iPhone5,3"
    }

Please keep in mind that uaparser only parses strings.
We do not know if all/any Instagram Browsers relies on Chrome (Engine). I am missing a reference to verify this point. uaparser is not intended to do client side testing - so therefore we would need a "distinctive mark" in this string to associate.
If "Instagram" on its own can be seen as a UA (what it is in my opinion), then we should add a rule which allows us to identify it as such.
