Since its acquisition by Facebook, Instagram has frequently made headlines with its new features. The photo-sharing platform recently announced another significant update.
Continuing to expand its user base and enhance user experience, Instagram has now enabled photo sharing directly through mobile browsers. This new feature allows users to post photos without needing to access the Instagram app. Let’s explore the details of this update.
By visiting instagram.com on your mobile device, you can now upload photos easily. This change hints at Instagram’s gradual softening of its stance on photo sharing from devices other than the app itself.
How to Share Photos via Mobile Browser:
- Update Instagram to the latest version on your iOS or Android device.
- Open your mobile browser and go to instagram.com.
- Use the menu at the bottom of the screen to select a photo.
- Add your desired caption and complete your post.
With 700 million monthly active users, Instagram continues to be the world’s most popular photo-sharing platform. The new mobile browser feature aims to reach an even broader audience.
Currently, the mobile web version supports only photo uploads. Video sharing, filters, Stories, and Direct Messages remain exclusive to the app for now.
