How to Run Instagram on BlackBerry 10

Instagram is an online photo-sharing and social networking service that enables its users to take pictures, apply digital filters to them, and share them on a variety of social networking services including Facebook and Twitter. But Instagram apps are available only for Android and iPhone. BlackBerry and Windows Phone users do not have the option to upload photos to Instagram from their. Although there are many alternatives, none of them have got the popularity and simplicity of Instagram.
With the release of BlackBerry 10, many new apps were released for the platform, but Instagram was still missing here. So officially there is no app for Instagram on BlackBerry 10, but using a simple hack you can run the Android version on BB10.

To get Instagram working, you’ll need to sideload the bar file to your device. If you’ve never done that before then check out CrackBerry’s guide for both Windows and Mac. After that, run the app and you can use it like Android version.
Although it will work, there can be issues and crashes as it is not the official one. Taking photos and sharing them seems to work just fine, but scrolling through the photo feed is painful affair and new users won’t be able to create an account from within the app. So if you have a Z10, you could probably try this out and let us know how the experience goes.
