Facebook, Messenger and Instagram apps hit Windows 10

We will let you know when the new Office Lens UWP app is available to the public - until then, tell us if you are excited about the upcoming Office Lens for Windows 10 in the comment section below. Developers just don't prioritize its platform when they're making apps, just like they don't prioritize BlackBerry 10 OS. Like the desktop iteration, Instagram also supports Live Tiles, so users will be able to stay up to date from their home screen.

As you may expect, the Windows 10 Facebook app has been created to take advantage of the operating system's features, like its "Live Tiles" which allow you to see status updates from family, friends and Pages right on your homescreen. This new Instagram app will replace the BETA app and is fully equipped with all the updated features, including Instagram Direct, Explore, Video Upload, Multiple Accounts, Hold to Zoom, and much more.

It also serves as an added incentive to upgrade to WIndows 10, as these apps will be Windows 10 apps only, with Instagram being a Windows 10 Mobile app.

A Facebook spokesman said the motivation behind littergram was admirable and it had engaged in a conversation to see if there was a way for them to have an app which operated in a way that was different enough to Instagram to not risk infringing their trademark. "We think they are going to continue to gain ad share". Live Tile support means you can pin Instagram to your Start screen and be notified of changes right and there. And the Tile itself displays photos.
