Instagram has officially launched a dedicated app for iPad, responding to long-standing user demand. The new version introduces features tailored for the larger screen, including a fresh layout designed to improve browsing and multitasking.
When opening the app, users land directly in Reels, bringing short-form video to the forefront on a bigger display. A new “Following” tab makes it easier to track updates from favourite accounts, while enhanced layouts allow smoother access to messages and notifications. Reels also play in full size while users expand the comments section, ensuring uninterrupted viewing alongside real-time reactions.
The iPad app is available now on the App Store, aiming to provide a more complete Instagram experience for creators and casual users alike.
