Instagram is one of the best applications to share photos and videos though all of it can be done only through the official app. Thanks to some tweaks, the same things a user can do on the map can now be done via the web version thanks to some new tweaks which is sure to entice more sharing and users.
One device seen to benefit the most are the tablets. Originally, the iPad was categorized as a mobile device, it could only to the traditional browsing, searches and discoveries that anyone could do on their desktop. All that has now changed and Instagram.com confirmed the changes as they aim for bigger global growth according to Tech Crunch.
A lot of users are expected to laud the move, particularly the ones in developing countries. While most may have mobile phones, another problem is the slow cellular network in their regions which hinder their smooth download of Instagram. And even if they are able to patiently wait through the download process, other factors such as sufficient storage space becomes another concern.
The Instagram web version eliminates all of that, saving them time and money (particularly for the ones on data). Now, all a user has to do is use the built-in browser of the device, snap and share away – fairly similar to how Facebook and Twitter allow its members to do it. Given time, it could translate to more Instagram users hooking up, 9 to 5 Mac reported.
Prior to these developments, there were alternative ways to share Instagram via desktops. There are third-party apps available though most had a cost tied up to it. One free app most are using is Gramblr.
The app is mainly a tool to upload apps meaning there is no browsing involved. With Instagram now more flexible, these tools may no longer be needed since folks can easily open their browser, head to the official site and upload photos as they please. Check out the video below for a step-by-step guide.
