Instagram will improve its web interface. But still not for iPad

Like it or not, Facebook just doesn't want Instagram on the iPad. Even though it is constantly adding new features to its platform that make the network less and less clear, it simply coughs to debug the interface for iPad tablets. But you can view it on it via a web browser, which will now have several interesting functions. The original intention of the application purely for the iPhone has long gone, when the title was also extended to Android. It's not primarily about photos either, because you can share both videos and stories that combine everything. The obligation to upload content in a 1:1 aspect ratio was also abolished a long time ago. Apart from the separate application, however, you can also view Instagram on the web, where you can log in, search here, etc. But what you can't do here yet is publish content.

And that should change. The company is said to be working on updating its website to allow users to share content from the web as well. What does it mean? That you will be able to publish photos, videos and stories to the network from practically any device that has an Internet browser - that is, not only from computers but also from tablets, including the iPad. If that seems illogical, you're not alone. 

Web priority 

Application developer and analyst Alessandro Paluzzi brought information about the upcoming news. Using undisclosed methods, he was already able to enable the new option in his profile, boasting about it on Twitter, where he also shared several screenshots. The interface has been improved with a preview of published content, along with the ability to crop it and apply the same filters that the application offers. There is also a description setting.

However, you can now publish content through the Instagram website - but only on mobile phones. The novelty will therefore offer this option to other devices as well. It is not yet known when that will happen. But it is another confirmation that we will not see the iPad interface even after 11 years since the application was created. Last year, Instagram's CEO stated that the iPad version of the application is not a priority and that he wants to focus more on improving the website. What does it entail?

Instagram for everyone, but with limitations 

This is, of course, the potential of the title, which frees you from the need to use the application. You can log in to your account on any device via the web and fully manage it – even on the devices of friends who do not need to log in to the application. After using the anonymous mode, the browser will forget all the data and you can be sure that no one will misuse the data. So it's the opposite of the way that Facebook was providing. He first offered a web interface, and then an application.

So it certainly has its advantages, but why Facebook is resisting the version for iPad, when you can already publish content from it, is a question. The limitation is directly offered - without the application, it cannot be fully integrated into the system, so you cannot send content to the network directly from an editing title, etc.
