According to reports, Instagram is one of the four major mobile social products under the umbrella of the American social network giant Facebook. Instagram has been focusing on the development of mobile users for many years.
However, the latest news shows that the company is already enriching PC desktop web services so that users can Post on the computer. A number of Twitter users posted that Instagram’s computer website test feature was launched this Thursday, and the company subsequently confirmed the news to the technology media.

An Instagram spokesperson said that the company understands that many users use Instagram through computers. In order to improve the user experience, the company is testing new features that allow users to post dynamic posts through a computer browser.
Why choose this time? Obviously, during the new global crown pneumonia epidemic, Instagram observed that many users use the computer to access Instagram, but not their smartphones.
To know if this new test feature is available in your area, just log in to Instagram with a desktop web browser and look for a new “Plus” icon in the upper right corner. Currently, this test feature has not yet been launched for all users, and the new feature only allows users to create “main dynamic information flow” posts.

The new feature this time is actually Instagram enriching the desktop experience once again. In 2017, Instagram allowed users to access “Stories” posts through a desktop browser, and last year, they launched a desktop-side private message feature.
Will these desktop functions affect users’ use of mobile clients? After the launch of the web-side private messaging function last year, a data analysis expert said that so far, no evidence has been found to prove that the desktop function affects the active use of Instagram users.
The expert said that in fact, the opposite is true. Compared with users who only use one of the mobile or desktop user interfaces, users who use both interfaces have increased the length of time that Instagram has been used, that is, user stickiness has increased.
If you’re one of the lucky few with the feature already enabled, here’s how you can post on Instagram via desktop:
- Click the + button in the top right corner. It’ll appear between the messages and compass icons.
- Drag and drop photos or videos, or select from your computer.
- Add filters and edits to your post.
- Add a caption and geotag, and tag people in the post.
