Both were born at the same time. One in January 2010, the first iPad. The other, in October of the same, Instagram. However, they had never lived in a comfortable way for the user. The Instagram version on iPados is a disaster In order not to be optimized and be a simple version of the iPhone adapted in poor condition to the iPad screen.
However, an internal report of the platform whose information has acceded Work in a version in iPad conditions. Nothing official for the moment, although significant. No more knowing that the director of the social network denied this possibility a few years ago so, in his opinion, it was absurd.
Tiktok, the Instagram chief on the iPad
Adam Mosseri, Director of Instagram, He has changed his speech concerning the iPad in the past five years. In 2020, he apologized that they did not have the equipment and resources necessary for its launch and maintenance. Two years later, the excuse was another and, thanks to a publication on the old Twitter, he said that it was not a priority for the rare group of potential users of the platform that was in iPad.
With less zoom or more, Instagram on iPad is now identical to the iPhone
As we said in the introduction, this did not mean that the platform cannot be used in the IPO. Actually, We can download Instagram for years on an iPadBut is far from being an application designed for iPad.
Until the keyboard of the iPad application is the same as on iPhone
The Instagram problem on iPad is that we find ourselves with identical version of the iPhone, without adapting to the tablet task. In fact, it has unnecessary and excessive black frames on the sides and that, despite the possibility of bringing the zoom together, they continue to show that it is not an optimized application for iPad.
What has changed now? Well, probably Tiktok. The fact that this has become the most popular social network in the world is something that has not left the indifferent to the Instagram team, which has demonstrated with acts for years its concern for this rivalry. There is nothing more to see how they try to improve the content of Instagram rolls, a short video format practically identical to the pillar in which the Chinese social network is based.
Now, as they have revealed in information, there is a Instagram worksheet in which the development of an iPad version is described. Nothing is more known. Neither the format you have, nor its differences with the iOS application and not much less when they plan to launch it. In any case, this is a significant change in tesit to take into account and that finally, this would guarantee us to have a decent Instagram on the iPad.
