In an email to partners, seen by VentureBeat, Microsoft is now targeting a release this month, to occur after the regular monthly service updates for the two Windows 10-powered handsets already on the market, the Lumia 950 and 950 XL.

Microsoft is apparently planning to roll out the Windows 10 Mobile update for existing Lumia smartphones later this month.
Now, the beta for Instagram’s universal app is available, albeit on Windows 10 Mobile only (desktop users will have to wait).
All of Instagram’s signature in-app features such as photo editing, adding filters, posting photos, sending private photos and following other accounts are present in the beta version as well.
The app also allows users to take a peek at a picture by pressing and holding it in a way similar to the iPhone 6s’s 3D Touch, according to The Next Web. The application is evidently an iOS port, which was ported over using Facebook’s “Osmeta” tools, which the firm obtained a couple of years ago. This is a beta version, which means that it comes with a few bugs that still need ironing out.

Instagram, the popular photo-sharing social network owned by Facebook, has finally released an app built for Windows 10 Mobile. To give the app a go and to help developers iron out issues, head over to the Windows Store. The workflow to create and edit an image is also not too stable for the moment: Instagram is telling users to expect app crashes.
