All New FB, Insta on Windows 10
Finally, another principal offering of Facebook in now available on the Windows 10 platform, after being teased for long in leaked screenshots and videos. It's essentially a packaged version of Facebook's Messenger web app, with support for Windows 10's notifications.
Facebook just released Facebook Messenger for Windows 10 devices today in the Windows store - and it's nearly everything that was needed from a Facebook messaging app - nearly. It's a sign that Microsoft's Universal Windows Platform strategy might just be working, as Facebook and other developers just have to build one app that can work across a variety of devices - that ultimately helps Windows 10 Mobile. For those on Windows 10 mobile, the new Facebook app is coming soon.
With Windows Phone market share now at a reported 2.8%, the rationale for bothering to build a Windows 10 Mobile app is questionable, at best. Facebook will replace the old Facebook Windows 8 listing, though you can still use the app.
To compare Facebook to another app that seems to suck up attention, Snapchat recently said that its worldwide daily active users spent between 25 and 30 minutes a day on the app. "With Live Tiles, you can easily find out what your friends and family are up to at a glance". The Facebook app also makes sharing photos simple by allowing easy access to your File Explorer or other favorite photo apps. Features include an in-app browser for reading and sharing articles from the News Feed, native notifications, and a few options that its predecessor did not offer: the new Reactions, stickers in comments, and a right-hand column that shows birthdays, event reminders, and trending topics.

The most important feature that the new Instagram app brings is support for video uploads - a feature that still hasn't made its way to the official Windows Phone beta.
The new Instagram app will also support live tiles, showing real-time updates on the user's home screen.
