Winsta UWP, the unofficial Instagram client for Windows 10 Mobile, keeps getting better and better, for Windows 10 phones, tablets and laptops. v2.0.2 is summarised below, adding a complete UI refresh, including a dark theme!

Here's what's new, for v2.0.2, since the last time we featured Winsta UWP, back in August (for v1.8.2):

Added private account notification

Added support for web URL clicking on media captions

New view for hashtags (Test, Only supports recent media0. P.S: Currently no support for hashtag stories.

P.S: Currently no support for hashtag stories. New dark theme

Improved experience on mobile and tablet

Moved saved posts section to Settings

Added new way of notify for private account post sharing

Added emoji picker button in directs view for PC and XBox

Added gestures to highlights view

Removed following tab in Activities page due to new Instagram changes

Enhancements in Share post dialog UI

Many bug fixes

Added notification before sharing post from private pages.

Added video conversion before uploading. Now you have more chance to upload your video successfully

And some token screenshots, by way of illustration:

Rafe's been shooting a firework event, and Gavin has been experimenting with long exposures - all presented from Instagram here in a full dark theme and with the new, reworked UI...

Interestingly, I still had issues uploading videos from Windows 10 Mobile, but I reported it and I'd encourage you to report issues too... Winsta UWP has a very active developer and there's an Insider user community here on Telegram. (Access the latter through Unigram UWP!)

As I stated before, Winsta UWP is still highly recommended. There's a lot to like about Winsta's speed and UI, it's a breath of fresh air - you can directly encourage the developer by buying Winsta, since it's a couple of quid in the Microsoft Store. Go on, if you want to see this updated further, buy the developer a cup of coffee in this way...
