> On Thursday, Instagram released an update in which the "find friends from Twitter" feature is broken. Instagram shows a warning message: “Twitter no longer allows its users to access this information in Instagram via the Twitter API.” This passed QA? Users don't need to be aware of an implementation detail like this.

It might help them lobby to get it back. Or maybe they want to show that Twitter is responsible, not themselves.

    Why not? --- That said, I think this is fair because Instagram didn't have time to deprecate the feature and now needs to explain why it isn't available.

Users should be aware of a detail like this if a feature they love is suddenly missing in an update.
