How to post on Instagram from a laptop or desktop

After eleven years, Instagram has finally allowed users to post from desktop.

Instagram is a photo-sharing social media app and before recently, you could only post on Instagram through the Instagram app itself. Now, you are able to post from the desktop version which is great news for those of us who find the app a little too addicting.

Posting on Instagram from desktop is as easy as posting through the app. Follow the steps below and you’ll be posting on desktop like a pro.

How to post on Instagram from a computer:
