Instagram tests desktop posting function
How to use Instagram on the computer? So far, in addition to the browsing function provided by the official website, if you want to post content to Instagram via your computer, you must use a third-party application or simulate the operating environment as a mobile device. Now, users can expect to post content directly to Instagram through a web browser.
The new feature allows users to upload multiple photos at once on the desktop browser and can edit or add filters to photos just like mobile apps. For illustrators, photographers, and other users who need to upload through computer production, this will save a lot of time in transferring pictures across devices.
Instagram confirmed that the team is testing this new feature. Instagram said that they noticed that many people use Instagram on their computers. In order to improve this part of the experience, Instagram decided to test the ability to post content through a desktop browser.
The developer Matt Navarra had already explored signs that Instagram was preparing for the desktop browser’s posting function, but it was still in the internal testing stage at the time.
Before that, some users used the developer tools of browsers such as Chrome to simulate the browser as a mobile device like iPhone to access the Instagram web version and upload pictures. However, at present, Instagram seems to have taken measures to prevent this behavior, Instagram opened in this way still does not provide an upload function.
