BlackBerry may have released its BB10 platform with news of 70,000 apps up for grabs, but this is also made possible with sideloading from Android. In fact, a new potential Instagram appis reported by TechCrunch, which can be sideloaded from Android.

If you want to have an Instagram app on your Z10-something thought to be potentially close to impossible, here's a simple guide to get started if you are a Windows PC user.

Before getting down to the details, you would need to install the DDPB installer and a Java Runtime Environment for your PC, according to CrackBerry.com and N4BB.

CrackBerry.com adds that you need to download pre-converted .BAR files to get started.

  1. After completing the prerequisites, go to the Settings options in your Z10. Then go to Security and Privacy > Development Mode, which you will have to enable.
  2. Next, go to Settings > About and click on Network. Take note of the IPv4 number.
  3. Run the DDPB nstaller, enter the IPv4, and enter your password on the Z10.
  4. This is where the sideloading process for apps begins. Click on "Connect" so your Z10 will be connected to the installer.
  5. Install the pre-converted files. Click on the "Add" button to bring up the file picker from the DDPB installer.
  6. A listing window will pop up. Click on the apps that you wish to install, then click "Install" tostart.
  7. A Screen will pop up to show that the process is done. Go back to Security and Privacy > Development Mode, then turn it off. You can then check if the apps that you have chosen have already been installed.
