Social media platform Instagram is planning to roll out the ability to create posts using the web browser on the desktop computer. The test feature went live on Thursday for some users.
As per ANI, while the new desktop feature has been solely focusing on its mobile product, the photo-sharing platform is at long last thinking about letting the user post from their computers.
Several Twitter users noticed that the test feature had gone live on Thursday, and an Instagram spokesperson said, “We know that many people access Instagram from their computer. To improve that experience, we’re now testing the ability to create a Feed post on Instagram with their desktop browsers.”
Users can check if the test is live for them by heading to Instagram in the browser and looking for a new ‘plus’ icon in the icon tray on the top right.
The test is not available to everyone and it only allows users to create posts for the main feed.
The new test feature is Instagram’s latest desktop product after the platform added the ability to view stories on the web in 2017 and added the direct messaging to desktop late last year.
