Instagram 'stalker' app Ghosty falls off Play Store bbc.com

The app's removal followed claims by Instagram that it violated the photo-sharing platform's rules.
The maker of Ghosty, an app that gives users access to private profiles, has removed it from Google's Play Store.

The move came after Instagram said it planned to send a cease and desist letter to Ghosty's developer.

The service required each user to give it access to their own profile, as well as to invite their friends – at least one of whom also had to join.

It then gives access to data in those accounts as well as any other profiles which those users follow.
