Phew! Some screenshots from this version in action:
In Winsta's Settings, note the 'Live tile for new posts' toggle... (right) Pin the app to your Start screen in the usual way...
It's pinned bottom right here and I've long pressed it to change its size and gone for 'double wide' - it cycles between recent new posts and their attached text. Very nice.
Note also the support for two factor authentication, here on the general Settings menu; (right) you can now save posts to collections of bookmarks. Here I'm making a new collection called 'Nature' and adding in my first item.
You'll find these collections again under a tab within the personal profile pane, as shown here, and you can then drill down to peruse images from each collection.
So yes, from this point on, Winsta UWP will hit v3 and will be compiled for Windows 10 15063 and beyond, i.e. branches 1703/1709. There are ways to get older Lumias up to this version, mind you!
Winsta UWP has a very active developer and there's an Insider user community here on Telegram. (Access the latter through Unigram UWP!) See you there?
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...
See also the official Instagram PWA, which works very well (apart from notifications) under Windows 10 Mobile.
