A data-driven UICollectionView framework for building fast and flexible lists in iOS apps.
What is IGListKit?
IGListKit is a data-driven UICollectionView framework developed by Instagram for building fast, flexible, and maintainable lists in iOS and tvOS apps. It solves the complexity of manually managing UI updates by automatically calculating and applying changes when data changes, making it perfect for dynamic content like social media feeds. The framework provides a reusable architecture that simplifies handling multiple data types within a single collection view.
iOS and tvOS developers building complex, data-heavy list interfaces such as social feeds, product catalogs, or messaging apps where performance and maintainability are critical.
Developers choose IGListKit because it eliminates error-prone manual UI updates, provides a tested and scalable architecture used at scale by Instagram, and offers full Swift interoperability while being built on battle-tested Objective-C foundations.
