Instagram closes off access to apps that let you ‘be’ other users

A recently launched app for Instagram called Being let users see the Instagram feed of any public user. What this means is you could see the app through the eyes of a celebrity. You could see who they follow and help that curate your list. But it seems Instagram isn’t happy with that as the app has lost access to Instagram’s API. The popularity of the app as it gained over 40,000 users since it launched around eight days ago might have brought Instagram to the app’s purpose and that might have caused its downfall. The company won’t say though if the loss of access to Instagram’s API is intentional.
