You can either go to the website or the store app directly on your Windows PC. It took a minute to find the login option for current users and the designers should have made it clearer. It looks the same as it does on the mobile app. The top rung of the app has a camera icon where you can take a snapshot from your webcam, a refresh icon to update your feed, and the DM icon that looks like paper plane. Here is where the PC version shows a strength. The bottom rung of the interface has the same four icons of a home button, the magnifying glass search button, the heart button, and finally your profile.
Home: Brings you to the main Instagram feed where each new scroll introduces a new post on which you can like therefore feeding some algorithm-suggestions about future content you might enjoy , leave a comment, direct message to someone else, or make the post a bookmark. Unfortunately the Windows UI does not work too well here and the search still brings up every result in a single list format.
Great for phones, not for monitors. Drawbacks to Instagram for Windows have to do with its optimization. The developers who ported the mobile app to the desktop version also seemed to not add a single feature; just subtract. It ought to have a multi-tiled interface that lets you see multiple photos in a tiled format as PC monitors are wider than they are tall. Something along the lines of 4x4 that expand or contract based on how you resize the app.
They could also have combined some of the separate features together given a much bigger screen than the mobile phone. Simply put, it feels like the developers copy and pasted Instagram mobile onto the PC and then went to lunch.
The mobile app is still the best way to experience Instagram. It contains all of the features of the app without any of the drawbacks found with the Windows version. Alternative social media applications are of course Facebook and Snapchat that emphasize interactions with people. The support team is incredibly unhelpful and has always been this way.
Even after reporting. The idea of Instagram is great. But the app itself is becoming worse and worse as time goes on.
Hi there! I just got Instagram a week ago and I will have to say, it is a great way to connect with my friends, see what they are up to and a great source for school clubs and events.
However, I have heard news that Instagram is becoming a social media video sharing app instead of focused on the photo aspect. This is highly disappointing because we already have so many different apps that are MEANT for videos.
A lot of my friends are artists and photographers who make money through Instagram. This is where they are most likely to switch over to another platform. I completely understand why they are doing this, but that is just gonna tear the app apart. I would like the people of Instagram to reconsider this update that is up and coming soon. Or even ohh right now, who knows. Make sure to give both parties the right amount of attention. Besides that, I absolutely adore Instagram and how much security privacy it goes for private accounts such as my own.
Either way, I really hope you see this Instagram and reply. I know a lot people who are considering leaving the app cause of this new update. Thank you so much for your time! Approximate size 3. Age rating For ages 13 and up.
