Hell must be freezing. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/instag... Instagram is releasing an App for the iPad later this year, as it is currently in "active testing" by employees. I don't personally use any Facebook/Meta products anymore, but I legit remember this being an annoyance all the way back in 2011. I had a smartphone but I preferred using my 3rd generation iPad for just about everything because it was so far ahead of any other technology. But Instagram would only load as an iPhone app with all the incorrect sizing and whatnot. Incredible it's now 2025 and Facebook is just now getting around to producing a native iPad app. Think of all the businesses that use Instagram these days to get work done - whether for reaching out to customers or even dealing with customer support through DMs. And they have been forced to do all that on a tiny phone screen all this time.
