Title: Instagram Is Coming To iPad, 15 Years Later

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/09/03/2072...

After years of requests, Instagram is finally releasing a dedicated iPad app
on September 3rd... "But it will be slightly different than the mobile app
users are accustomed to," reports The Verge. From the report: Most
significantly, the iPad app will open directly to a feed of Reels, the
company's TikTok competitor -- perhaps a sign of the short-form-video times.
[...] Other features will be available on iPad: Stories will still line the
top of the homepage, and users will be able to switch to a "Following" tab
where they'll be able to swipe between feeds that more resemble the mobile
Instagram experience (including a chronological option). The bigger screen
means more space and fewer clicks: comments on Reels will appear next to full-
size videos, and the DMs page will have your inbox alongside chats, similar
to what Messenger looks like on desktop.
