InPic for Instagram on Windows Phone 8 goes on a diet, gets security fixes in latest update

InPic, developed by ApplyF, is full featured Instagram client for Windows Telephone 8. It falls into the aforementioned military camp as Instance and 6tag in that it allows users to directly mail service to the popular photo sharing network. It's also available as a Windows 8 app, is completely free and it easily has i of the nicest UIs we've come beyond.

Version 1.1 is now live in the Store and with it, brings numerous changes worth revealing. The biggest ane is InPic now has the Instagram security requirements enabled, including total logout from the service.

Official Instagram apps basically insert a marker into your photos earlier being uploaded. In doing and so, the service marks these images as legit and allows them to be indexed for tagging. Information technology's alike to how antibodies work, if you're familiar with biology. The security feature was introduced to foreclose spam on Instagram, but every bit a side effect it initially caused issues with photos being posted past nonsanctioned apps, including the famous "hashtag issue".

InPic v1.one, like 6tag (and Example version two, which is in beta) has this security feature supported, giving users solace in knowing that their images won't cause the Instagram service to flag their accounts. In fact, Daniel Gary of Case actually assisted the developer of InPic to become this missing featured enabled. Kudos to Windows Phone developers who help each other out.

The other large alter in InPic version 1.i is the app is now much smaller. The initial release of InPic had the app at a monstrous 31 MB but that has now been slimmed downward to a slim 6 MB in today's update. That's essential for people with the entry level Windows Phones, where space is a premium. Indeed, early reports suggest that InPic runs very well on 512 MB devices too.

The simply meaning feature limitation on InPic is information technology doesn't allow video uploads, though users can view and even download other people's videos. Video uploading requires external servers to be setup and maintained, which is no piece of cake job, nor inexpensive. Seeing as InPic is completely free with no ads, it seems to be a off-white tradeoff (and some of us never impact the video upload feature anyway).

InPic version 1.1 is a solid, well-built Instagram app for Windows Phone 8. Information technology follows the Instagram security guidelines and has a gorgeous UI. It's also quite fast and fluid, making it worthy of your attention if you're a regular Instagram users.

You lot tin grab InPic here in the Store. Windows Phone 8; 512 MB devices OK
