Overview

• Instagram is actively developing a dedicated iPad app, addressing long-standing user dissatisfaction with its current iPhone-adapted version.
• The move comes 15 years after Instagram’s launch, marking a significant shift in Meta's platform strategy.
• Meta's decision is partly influenced by TikTok's precarious legal status in the U.S., creating opportunities to capture a larger user base.
• Despite the development, no official timeline for the app's release has been announced, leaving its launch date uncertain.
• This initiative aligns with Meta’s broader efforts to enhance Instagram’s competitive edge, including testing new creative tools like the Edits app for video editing.
