Instagram coming to Windows Phone, leaked screenshot reveals, but you have to wait till May

These days it seems that Twitter accounts are being created with the sole purpose to leak tech info in the wild and gauge reaction, or avoid repercussions, and the aptly named @anontechleaks is the new kid on the block here.

We know Instagram is coming to Windows Phone eventually, and Nokia even created its own #2instawithlove effort to encourage faster pace, while we also saw the Instagram app Live Tile lurking in a promo Lumia ad.

Now the latest leak is directly a screenshot from the Windows Store, which shows the app as it would supposedly appear ready for your downloading pleasure, indicating that the launch should be around May: "...Templerun 2 realracing 3 Instagram and others aren't launch until may 2013...its in wp store but aren't downloadable(need permission)..." Just in time for the fresh batch of Lumias announced at MWC, it seems.

There is no need for me to sign up another social site as if sharing photos of my dinner and lunch is so important, and I certainly don't need the 16 ways provided to ruin my photos. But, other people needs it, oh, well...

Fake or not, whether u use insta or not, it's needed for every OS for the OS to grow in userbase, because social sites are very important nowadays, that includes for Blackberry. I do hope Instagram change their mind regarding making an app for BB. For WP i do believe it is coming, question is WHEN.

compared to the other two , it has one of the fastest progress , but usability wise , still needs a bit of openness , even i wanted to own one , but i miss alot of the customization and stuff so Android for me

i just wish they better bring it to other platform! they shouldn't stick to the android-apple duo (also the temple run games! shoot temple run Oz is amazing!) coz they are now part of the daily tasks of people! they are not really helping those platform to have market share(WP and BB10 and any other platform out there) if they just still to Android and Apple! coz now people choose a platform coz of the apps available! so please instagram (and also imagi) bring your apps to WP and BB!!!
