Instagram still plays best on phones and but the PC version lets you scratch the IG itch almost as well. Instagram for Windows is available for download from the Microsoft store. You can either go to the website or the store app directly on your Windows PC. It took a minute to find the login option for current users and the designers should have made it clearer.
It looks the same as it does on the mobile app. The top rung of the app has a camera icon where you can take a snapshot from your webcam, a refresh icon to update your feed, and the DM icon that looks like paper plane. Here is where the PC version shows a strength. The bottom rung of the interface has the same four icons of a home button, the magnifying glass search button, the heart button, and finally your profile.
Home: Brings you to the main Instagram feed where each new scroll introduces a new post on which you can like therefore feeding some algorithm-suggestions about future content you might enjoy , leave a comment, direct message to someone else, or make the post a bookmark.
Unfortunately the Windows UI does not work too well here and the search still brings up every result in a single list format. Great for phones, not for monitors. Drawbacks to Instagram for Windows have to do with its optimization. The developers who ported the mobile app to the desktop version also seemed to not add a single feature; just subtract.
It ought to have a multi-tiled interface that lets you see multiple photos in a tiled format as PC monitors are wider than they are tall. Something along the lines of 4x4 that expand or contract based on how you resize the app.
They could also have combined some of the separate features together given a much bigger screen than the mobile phone. Simply put, it feels like the developers copy and pasted Instagram mobile onto the PC and then went to lunch.
The mobile app is still the best way to experience Instagram. It contains all of the features of the app without any of the drawbacks found with the Windows version. Alternative social media applications are of course Facebook and Snapchat that emphasize interactions with people.
And every day there seems to be a new take on social media. Vero is considered a main competitor to Instagram as it focuses on an ad-free, user-controlled approach to sharing media. No social media presence is complete without an Instagram account. It changed the way people shared photographs and built their media persona. Hopefully the developers take a second look at future enhancements to the Windows app. The use case for the Windows version is heavily dependent on whether you have a phone, need a keyboard, or simply cannot go without Instagram until you get your phone back.
