Why does the new Instagram App is not avaliable for Win 8.1

Hello i want to ask why does the new updated Instagram is not avaliable for Win 8.1

It's not because it was only created for Windows 10 Mobile. There are a number of apps like that.

i know but why is not avaliable ! is just because windows 10 has some extra capabilites for developers or just Microsoft wants to force you to update to win 10 or buy a new phone *(kinda like Apple)

I think there are various reasons for that.

One of my guesses is because it;s up to the developer to make their apps backwards compatible and they chose not to do that. Another possible one is that they didn't want the confusion of two instagram apps. You are welcome to try 6tag though, even though it doesn't have Instagram Stories.
