Instagram isn't coming to iPad any time soon.

Overview

  • Instagram is actively working on a dedicated iPad app, according to a report from The Information.
  • The app is designed to address the current suboptimal experience of using the iPhone app on iPads, which lacks optimization for the larger screen.
  • This development represents a shift from Instagram’s historical stance, where limited resources and perceived low demand deprioritized an iPad app.
  • The move is part of Instagram’s broader strategy to enhance user engagement and potentially attract creators as TikTok faces ongoing uncertainties.
  • No official release date has been announced, and the app’s development status remains subject to change.
