Hipstamatic Oggl app users might want to rethink those subscriptions. The Windows Phone 8 imaging app, and many others like it, are reportedly no longer able to upload images to Instagram's photo sharing service. Previously, the application enabled uploads, but users were unable to view or otherwise access Instagram feeds. According to a spokesperson's comment published on The Verge , the site has updated its API, restricting access to third-party apps in an effort to "fight spam to help prevent future attacks and increase security." Images apparently still pop up on the platform, but are deleted seconds later. For now, it appears that the only way to share images on Instagram is to capture them directly within the app, leaving WP8 and BlackBerry users out in the cold. Let's hope this unwelcome change means additional OS support is on the way.
