After pulling the plug on the Mandiri IGTV application earlier this month, Instagram has now removed the Boomerang and Hyperlapse application from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Although Instagram has not made an official announcement about transfers, reports show that the company attracts the three applications from the application store simultaneously.
According to data from the AppTopia (via TechCrunch), Instagram deleted the Hyperlapse and Boomerang application from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store on March 1, 2022. The Boomerang application has more than 301 million downloads during deletion, while Hyperlapse, while the application Hyperlapse has more than 23 million downloads. The next data shows that the Boomerang application is still an average of 26,000 downloads per day before being removed.
In blog posts confirming the removal of the IGTV application, Instagram said that the idea behind removing the Mandiri application is making “it’s easier for people to have all these features and capabilities in the main application.” Because the main Instagram application has offered all the features of the Boomerang and Hyperlapse application, the platform decision to close this application is reasonable.
It should be noted that the Mandiri Instagram layout application, which allows users to set photos into collages, are still available on the Play Store. Instagram has confirmed that it does not plan to remove the application in the near future. Speaking of recent removal, Instagram spokesman told TechCrunch, “We have removed support for Boomerang applications and Standalone Hyperlapse to further focus our efforts on the main application. We will continue to work in new ways for people to be creative and Have fun on Instagram. “
