Instagram has pulled the official Boomerang and Hyperlapse apps from the iOS and Google app stores this week, following a comment from Meta.

Speaking to Engadget, Meta said that Instagram is focusing instead on the main instagram app instead. It has been suggested that Instagram pulled both apps earlier this month on 1st March, but Layout is still available for making collages.

Instagram has also pulled its official IGTV app this month, with a focus to keep video in the main Instagram app.
