For many iPad users, using Instagram is like squeezing a square peg in a round hole. The iPhone app doesn’t fit comfortably on the tablet's screen, and some reports indicated a change is officially in the works. The latest buzz is that Meta has finally started working on an Instagram app specifically for iPad.
It’s good news for a better experience, perhaps the best experience for those who prefer social browsing on the larger device. Tablet Fans Get What They Have Wanted For A Long Time The news mentions that the workaround leads to a less-than-pleasant viewing experience, with wasted screens and not wholly optimised for tablet viewing. A curated app should tap into what iPads can do and should be more aesthetic and efficient for users to scroll through feeds, watch stories, and digest content.
Listening to User Needs and Evolving Market Trends Some reports state that iPad users have been waiting for this for years. Meta’s decision to create an Instagram app for iPad is a classic example of how content is consumed across devices nowadays. Tablets are becoming increasingly capable of dual-use for leisure and productivity, and creating a specifically configured Instagram app makes sense to reach more users.
Expecting a Better, More Unified Experience Although there’s no confirmation about the specific coverage of additional features, you can imagine the possibilities of what the dedicated iPadOS app could do. Maybe the long wait for an Instagram that feels “native” to the iPad is finally over. A Good Sign for Instagram on Tablets Even though there is some time before official confirmation from Meta (Facebook), some sources provide an encouraging outlook for those with iPads.
The development of a dedicated Instagram iPad app could be an important turning point, suggesting that Instagram is starting to take social media on all types of devices in the same direction of providing an integrated experience. You can picture an Instagram that feels appropriately placed on the iPad!.
