Microsoft is aggressively pushing ahead with its plans to serve Progressive Web Apps via the Microsoft Store. Twitter released its PWA app last year, and now Instagram is joining the fray with the launch of its own PWA app on the Microsoft Store, as per a report from Aggiornamenti Lumia.
Note: For those unaware, Progressive Web Apps (or PWAs) are websites and/or apps that behave like native apps. They can load when there is no network, sync and seamlessly do things while offering users a native-like experience.
Direct Messaging is an essential feature for many users and Instagram ditching the same with its new desktop app seems a bit rushed. However, let’s hope Instagram adds Direct Messages to its website in the coming months so everyone can access it via the desktop app as well.
