[Sailfish X] Instagram Android app leaves Location service permanently ON, battery drain [answered]

Stop/Start of "Android support" service helps, but this is clearly unsustainable.
I wonder if Instagram's background services are looking to somehow keep Location services activated. HERE Maps and most others don't seem to suffer from this issue.
Is there some Instagram app-specific workaround, I wonder?
Which version of Instagram are you using / where did you download it from? I ask as the one I had (from "store") stopped working about two weeks ago. It would open only if I had location services on (but not be usable). If location services were off it wouldn't even open.
