Instagram Lite, the two-year old version of the Instagram app aimed at emerging markets, has quietly disappeared. The previously highly-ranked app vanished from the Google Play charts on April 13 in the countries where it was active, including Kenya, Mexico, Peru and the Philippines. Existing Instagram Lite users have been directed to the main Instagram app via a message that claimed “Instagram Lite is No Longer Supported.”
Android Police first reported the news of Instagram Lite’s shutdown on Monday. TechCrunch has since confirmed details of the app’s removal with Instagram parent, Facebook.
