Meta recently announced Instagram for iPad. According to the social media platform, users have been requesting this for a while, and the platform has taken the time to design an experience that optimizes users’ favorite parts of Instagram for a bigger screen.
Sit back, relax, and watch Reels
Instagram has always been the place where people connect over creativity, and Reels has become a primary way for people to discover and share entertaining content.
With Instagram for iPad, the platform has redesigned the experience to reflect how people use bigger screens today – for lean back entertainment.
Now, when you open the app, you’ll drop into Reels, so you can get the entertaining content you love on a bigger screen.
You’ll also see Stories at the top, so you can easily connect with the people that matter to you, and messaging is one tap away.
Instagram has received users’ requests for easier ways to make sure they’re not missing updates from their favorite accounts, so we’re introducing a new “Following” tab on iPad, which gives you multiple ways to see the latest and greatest from the accounts you follow:
- All: Recommended posts and reels from accounts you follow
- Friends: Recommended post and reels from accounts you follow, that follow you back
- Latest: Chronological posts and reels from accounts you follow, with the most recent posts appearing first.
You can choose the order of these feeds to prioritize what you want to see first.
