Get Ready to Take Selfies with Instagram for Windows Phone

Finally, the wait is over! All Windows Phone users and Instagram lovers, we have a very special news for you. Finally, you can use Instagram on the go through the official Instagram for Windows phone application.

  

Instagram is a very popular and one of the fastest grown social networking sites.  WP8 is new yet popular operating system but for some reason it did not have the official instragram for Windows phone application. Instragram users were forced to use some third parties applications which lacked some basic features. So, the launch of an official application was inevitable.

  

The development team of Instagram for Windows phone wanted to launch the official app as soon as possible so people can enjoy the basic features of this social networking site on Windows Phone. Their efforts have paid off and they have finally launched the official application which not only offers the basic features but also enhances the Instagram experience on Windows Phone.

According to the latest news, they are not done yet. In fact they will keep improving this application so that people can get the best Instragram experience on Windows Phone.

   

Just like Android and IOS, Instagram Windows application comes with all basic features and photo filters. However, it lacks one major feature. Yes, it does not allow video recording at the moment. Since, it has just hit the Windows store so, we can expect this feature after few major updates. This application also lacks the feature to tag people in your photo. You cannot even view the geo-tagged map. Nevertheless, you can still view the people tagged in photos.

Keeping in mind the fact that it is just a BETA app, one can say that Instagram has done a pretty good job. In next few months with few major updates, we can expect that Instagram for Windows phone gets better. So, what are you waiting for?? Download the official application from Windows Store.
