Instagram Shuts Down Third-Party App Access
Meta's decision to shut down the Instagram Basic Display API by December 2024 is affecting third-party consumer apps like Tinder, Hinge, and Day One, which relied on it to access Instagram data. Developers are encouraged to switch to the Instagram API, but it only supports business accounts, limiting functionality for personal accounts. This change means apps like Day One can no longer import Instagram content, impacting features that were part of their premium offerings. Other services like Discord and website embed tools are also affected.
