Social picture sharing platform, Instagram is no longer supported on Windows 10 Mobile handsets. The photo-sharing platform recently released an update, which reportedly didn’t bring any significant changes to the Windows 10 mobile operating system. Therefore, as noted by BGR, it appears that they may have ended support for mobile devices running Windows 10.
It is interesting to note that the app currently continues to extend support for PC on the Windows Store. Prior to this, the platform was supported on both, PC as well as mobile devices.

Since Instagram has not provided any official confirmation on the matter, it cannot be known for sure whether the aforementioned news is true. Furthermore, it is not immediately clear whether Microsoft pulled the plug on Instagram for Windows 10 Mobile or the change is coming directly from the app developers.
It appears that the only way one can gain access to Instagram on Windows 10 Mobile at the moment is through the use of the Microsoft Edge browser. The web interface reportedly supports all the features of Instagram. In other words, users can post pictures, apply filters and even view stories through the browser.
However, it does not change the fact that if Instagram has indeed ended support for Windows 10, it would ultimately end up hurting Windows 10 Mobile.
