After years of solely focusing on its mobile product, Instagram is at long last thinking about letting users post from their computers. A number of Twitter uses noticed<\/a> that the test feature had gone live Thursday, and Instagram confirmed the test to TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that many people access Instagram from their computer,\u201d an Instagram spokesperson said. \u201cTo improve that experience, we\u2019re now testing the ability to create a Feed post on Instagram with their desktop browser.\u201d<\/p>\n

#Instagram<\/a> is rolling out the ability to create posts from the desktop website \ud83e\udd73<\/p>\n

Why now? Apparently over the course of the pandemic, the company saw a rise in people cruising Instagram from their computers rather than their phones.<\/p>\n

To see if the test is live for you, head to Instagram in your browser and look for a new \u201cplus\u201d icon in the icon tray on the top right. The test isn\u2019t available to everyone and it only allows users to create posts for the main feed.<\/p>\n

The new test feature is the company\u2019s most recent sign of life for its desktop product: Instagram added the ability to view Stories on the web in 2017<\/a> and added direct messaging to desktop<\/a> late last year.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 We haven\u2019t found any evidence that the Instagram desktop web experience cannibalizes engagement from the native apps,\u201d a data scientist with Instagram observed with the launch of web messaging.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, it\u2019s quite the opposite \u2014 users who use both interfaces spend more time on each interface, compared to users who use each interface exclusively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instagram Stories are coming to the web<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
