Good news if you regularly use Instagram, because there will finally be a special app for the iPad! We already know this about the new application.
Instagram on the iPad
There is finally a special app for Instagram on the iPad! According to The Information The company works in the background on an application for the tablet. An employee reportedly indicated that the iPad app is under development, which would mean a major improvement. Users can currently use Instagram on the iPad, but only via the internet or by installing the iPhone app.
It is therefore possible to open Instagram on the iPad, but it still works far from optimal. When using the iPhone app, large black beams are displayed on the screen, because the application does not work with the larger screen of the iPad. That will change soon, because then there will finally be a special Instagram app for the iPad. That is also time, it is now 15 years since Instagram was introduced.
No priority for meta
Instagram has indicated several times in recent years that there would be no special application for the iPad. According to the company, the target group was too small for this app. The development of the application therefore had no priority for Instagram. According to rumors, this has finally changed, so that the company does develop an app that is specially adjusted to the size of the iPad.
It is still unclear why Instagram now sees a future in an app for the iPad. This may be due to the arrival of Tiktok, which reduces the popularity of Instagram. With the introduction of Instagram Reels, the company tries to compete with Tiktok. In recent months there has been a lot of uncertainty about Tiktok, because the United States is considering blocking the app. Instagram may try to use this uncertainty by releasing an iPad app.
Does WhatsApp follow?
Tiktok does have an app for the iPad, which is a big advantage compared to Instagram. According to rumors, Instagram is planning to remove this benefit, which means that there is finally an application for the iPad. It is still unclear when exactly this will happen, it is quite possible that the final release will be delayed for the time being. So just patience, because it seems that Instagram is finally working on a new app for the tablet.
Instagram is not the only meta platform without an application for the iPad. Users have been waiting for an iPad version of WhatsApp for years. For the messaging service no app is available at all on the iPad, even the iPhone app cannot be used on the tablet. There are no new messages about a WhatsApp version for the iPad, but that may change. Do you want to stay informed of these developments? Then register for our newsletter!
