Instagram is seemingly simplifying its app portfolio by shutting down its older, standalone apps to focus on the camera and video-centric features of its primary app. Last week, the Meta-owned giant announced to shut down its standalone IGTV app. Along with the IGTV app, the company is now shutting down two of its older apps, including the standalone Boomerang app and the timelapse app Hyperlapse.
Although Instagram did not mention it was going to kill the standalone Boomerang and Hyperlapse in its official blog post, the company reportedly shut down the apps on the same day as the IGTV app. According to data provided by Apptopia to Techcrunch, Boomerang and Hyperlapse’s last day was on March 1.
