-**Antivirus detects SCrawler as a virus**: SCrawler doesn't contain any viruses at all. All code is posted on GitHub. You can review it. I have nothing to hide. SCrawler just downloads pictures and videos. That's all. If you trust SCrawler, you should just add it to the antivirus exceptions, as I did. Sometimes antiviruses identify SCawler as a virus. This is usually related to the number of files being edited (users' settings files) and the number of files being downloaded. In this case, the antivirus can also remove these files, which will damage users' settings. **If you don't trust SCrawler, just delete it.**

-**Instagram saved posts**: I don't consider questions like "I have 10k saved posts and only 1000 were downloaded". Download posts, remove them from saved posts, delete the `Saved posts`**settings folder**, repeat.

- TikTok: works via yt-dlp. If something doesn't download, we need to wait until yt-dlp fixes it. TikTok doesn't require cookies to download.
