I have never seen an Instagram ad on my phone using both the Android and iOS apps. I don't know why, but there are certain accounts that have ads disabled (I'm not the only one [0]). I guess I just got lucky. My alternate accounts all get ads like normal. I don't think I would use Instagram if I got ads like my friends do.

huh, how odd. I've never seen ads on Instagram either, and assumed that was the default experience. I guess the A/B control group gods smiled on us.

That's incredible; I'll consider myself lucky and keep enjoying it for now. Edit: I had assumed the trick was using the mobile website, since I used to see ads when I used the Android app.
