Someone at Instagram has a slippery trigger finger: Some Instagram for Android users are reporting links posted to a “one tap photo messaging app” called Bolt. It sounds an awful lot like a very popular photo-sharing app not owned by Facebook that rhymes with “App Hat”.
The link brings you to a dead page at the Google Play store, and no one has reported actually testing out the app.

We’ve reached out to Facebook and Instagram for comment and will update if they fess up.

If this incident seems familiar, it’s because this is very similar to what happened when Facebook launched The Verge]
