Windows 10 Mobile users can now find and download the Instagram Beta app from the Windows Store even without prior knowledge of its URL.
In the past, users could only install the app only after knowing the URL address and then allowing the browser on their Windows Phone device to take them to the official page in the Windows Store.
That hassle can now be forgotten, as Instagram Beta page can now be easily discovered in the Windows Store, whether or not the users know what the URL is.
With Instagram Beta for Windows 10 Mobile, users can enjoy a number of newly added features. These include capturing, editing and posting videos; browsing posts and searching for new accounts that they can follow using Explore; and sending photos, videos and messages to friends through the Instagram Direct feature.
"See the world through somebody else's eyes by following not only the people you know, but inspirational Instagrammers, photographers, athletes, celebrities and fashion icons," states the app's description at the Windows Store. "Every time you open Instagram, you'll see new photos and videos from your closest friends, plus breathtaking moments shared by creative people across the globe."
Back in March, we reported on how Instagram Beta first rolled out to Windows 10 Mobile devices. Early users faced some issues that went with the app, which made the move to place it on a beta testing phase a sensible way to resolve future issues. Some of the issues that the users complained about include the inability to log in to the app using their Facebook accounts and the inability to use the "share to" function.
As a result, Instagram promised not only to resolve the issues but also to offer new features that will cater to users who want to show off their creative side. According to the company, the app will have 10 creative tools that will allow users to modify shadows, highlights and perspective of images, as well as manipulate the image's brightness, contrast and saturation.
The Instagram Beta app for Windows 10 Mobile has an approximate size of 50.93 MB and currently supports more than 20 languages. These include English, Italian, Spanish, French and Chinese.
Instagram now has more than 400 million users.
