Amaya Toman The Instagram platform first saw the light of day in October 2010 - at that time only iPhone owners could use it exclusively. Two years later, owners of devices with the Android operating system also got their hands on it, and a web version of Instagram was also created. But we haven't seen Instagram for iPad yet. Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri revealed this week why that is - but his answer isn't very satisfying.

Dan Pražák He drew attention to Mosseri's statement twitter account The Verge editor Chris Welch. Adam Mosseri filmed and published an instastory in which he stated, among other things, that Instagram "would like to make their app for the iPad". "But we only have a limited number of people and there's a lot to do," he said as the reason why iPad owners can't download the Instagram app to their tablets yet, adding that the need to create the app has not yet been a priority for Instagram's creators. This rationale was largely met with derision from users not only on Twitter, and Welch scathingly noted on Twitter that the twentieth anniversary of Apple's tablet could be a good opportunity to launch an iPad version of Instagram.

Getting to Instagram content from an iPad is of course not difficult. Until relatively recently, users had a choice of third-party applications, Instagram can also be visited in the Safari web browser environment. However, iPad owners have been clamoring for the app since 2010. Adam Mosseri took over Instagram in September 2018 after its original founders, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, left.

This is Instagram for iPhone
Oh, and that's why I'm writing about it "This app is available only on the App Store for iPhone and iPad." and I have it installed on my iPad???
Because this is an iPhone app emulation, not a native iPad app.
By the way, the notice "This app is available only on the App Store for iPhone and iPad" was not written by Facebook (the owner of IG) but by Apple to emphasize that the application cannot be found in the App Store for Mac.
Hmm, I guess I won't sleep. Also, it does not affect the milk yield of cows and can be simply uninstalled? I'm looking forward to the time when we'll talk about Instagram and what stupid apps there were. Like ICQ. I don't think it was a bad app, but it's in the dustbin of history.
