Over the years, the iPad users have been searching the Instagram with a simple request: a proper app designed for the tablet. And finally, the social network has given. From today, you can download a dedicated Instagram app for iPad, can be arranged for no more afflicted or web browser workaround through the clink, compact iPhone version.

The new app opens directly on the reels feed, giving you a quick stream of vertical videos to swipe on the screen of a very room. This is the way of bending the Instagram in the format that is clearly running the most of its engagement. And yes, watching the reels on an iPad feels a bit like a tiktok on steroid.

Instagram app for iPads

In terms of features, whatever you expect from the iPhone app is from the minimum viewing point of view. Stories proudly sit at the top of the screen, while the left -handed sidebar hopes you quickly between classes such as your following feed, direct messages, exploration, search and information.

The feed itself comes with three different tastes: all recommended materials from the accounts you follow for the general algorithm-operated mixture of the plus post; “Friends” to hold with mutuals; And “the latest” for a classic chronic timeline. Work little bonus: You can regain these feeds, although you like.

Why did it take 15 years?

Until now, using Instagram on an iPad was clearly strange. The iOS app except for large empty limits and an interface, which never felt right for the larger screen. Instagram says that it has finally “resumed the experience” to take advantage of the tablet performance. This means that if you are looking at a reel, the comment will appear neatly neatly instead of taking it to the entire screen. In the DMS tab, now you can browse all your active chats to the left, while diving in a specific conversation on the right, much like email or slack.

So, why wait long? The Instagram has been for about 15 years, and the leading Adam Mosari is not exactly shy about his priorities. He reiterated on several occasions that the company was in “no green” to produce an iPad version. Earlier this year, however, information stated that the wheels were finally changing, and today, this report has been proved correct.

Of course, Instagram’s reluctance in the past made place for entrepreneur developers to fill the difference. Third-party apps such as retro gave iPad users similar to more polished experiences. But now live with the official app, those stopgap measures are likely to fade in ambiguity.

If you are willing to try it, then the new Instagram iOS for iPad works on any device running 15.1 or later. It may have taken a better part of a decade and a half to reach the company to reach here, but the end result is a clever, scrolling, swipe and a more practical way to double-tap your way via Instagram on a large screen.

Better late than never, right?
