Instagram is one of many major apps
missing on Windows Phone platform. WP users have so far used third party
clients to post to the image sharing service.
But now, Instagram is taking away this facility from WP users is
deleting their photos after they are uploaded via a third party client.
As reported by The Verge, users of Instance, a third-party Instagram client, are unable to post photos as well as the URLs to the file.
Instagram has confirmed it has made some
changes to its APIs, though not targeted at a particular platform or
app. “We recently made an update to the systems that we use to fight
spam to help prevent future attacks and increase security. As part of
this, applications accessing Instagram against the terms of our API may
also be affected. This update does not specifically target any
particular app or platform,” says Instagram in a statement.
Earlier, Instance developer Daniel Gary
told The Verge that Instagram may be "detecting when photos are not
uploading via the official app." “It’s their servers, their service.
What I was doing was not approved by them and was using their private
API," he added, noting he did not blame Facebook for blocking the app.
