“#Cross your fingers, Instagram is widely testing desktop uploads<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Since its inception, Instagram has been a mobile-first app<\/a>. While it has a website where you can look at your feed, watch Stories, and chat with your friends over DMs, you can\u2019t post photos.<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s about to change as the company is rolling out a desktop upload feature to select users. Multiple people on Twitter<\/a> noted that they\u2019re seeing this functionappear\u00a0for them on Instagram\u2018s desktop site.<\/p>\n

Last month, developer and leaker Alessandro Paluzzi tweeted about this feature being tested internally<\/a>. However, Instagram has now confirmed this development:<\/p>\n

\n

We know that many people access Instagram from their computers.\u00a0To improve that experience, we\u2019re now testing the ability to create a Feed post on Instagram with their desktop browser.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

From the looks of these early screenshots, you can upload multiple photos, edit them, and apply filters to them without having to switch to the mobile app. At the time of writing, I haven\u2019t seen this feature for my account, so I haven\u2019t been able to test it.\u00a0We\u2019ll update this story when it rolls out more widely.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in 2013, Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom said<\/a>, \u201cWe do not offer the ability to upload from the web as Instagram is about producing photos on the go, in the real world, in real-time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone who\u2019s spent time on the platform over the years knows this is not how most creators use Instagram lately: they edit a lot of content using professional tools on their desktops before beaming it to their phones to upload.<\/span><\/p>\n

As such, this new development should be a boon to those folks. If you\u2019re looking for authenticity in your feed, you\u2019ll want to check out alternatives like Dispo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can we have Instagram for iPad now, please?<\/p>\n
