Instagram drops support for windows 10 mobile (available again)

As Microsoft's Windows 10 Mobile efforts stop, some applications become unavailable to users of the platform, as its developers do not want to invest time and resources in something that is going to disappear. The last important case has been that of the Instagram application.

Instagram also abandons the Windows 10 Mobile platform

Instagram seems to be leaving the Windows 10 Mobile platform entirely. The latest application update is no longer available in the Microsoft store for the mobile operating system. Instagram was one of the long-running apps, which helped keep users on the platform, as the company has remained committed to its UWP app until now.

Users have reported that the app is no longer listed in the Store, and that Windows 10 Mobile is no longer listed as a supported platform, making the PC the only supported Microsoft platform. It is important to note that, recently, Instagram also disconnected its application for the Apple Watch. A sign that the image-based social network is shrinking its suite of applications, in an effort to focus on platforms that provide the level of activity required, to maintain an application's investment.

For many months now Microsoft has thrown in the towel with its Windows 10 Mobile operating system, which has never had a significant market share, the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL terminals were the last to reach the market under this platform, it has rained a lot since then. It is a shame to see how an operating system that seemed promising has ended in this way, leaving Android in a monopoly position except for Apple.

Update: Thanks to Nano Kanpro for letting us know that Instagram is back in the Windows store. ?
