Instagram is testing a new feature on its platform that will allow users to publish posts from the desktop website on Mac as well as PC. A new toggle will allow doing so via Instagram’s desktop website.
Last month a similar functionality was spotted being tested on the photo share sharing platform. But this time some screenshots have been shared to demonstrate the alleged upcoming feature to publish feed posts from the desktop version of the app. At the moment this is under testing and only a few numbers of users can have access to the first live test of this feature. Like we said before a new toggle + will appear on the upper right corner, just between the messenger and the explore button.
According to Matt Navarra, some of the users including him have the new “+” icon in the top bar on the Instagram Account. When clicked the desktop version of Instagram allow the users to upload images or videos from their PC or Laptop to social media channel. In addition to this, you will also have the options to apply filters edit photos and videos before posting them just like you on the mobile application of Instagram. So possibly the parent company Facebook will soon launch this feature for the public in its next update.
