I have a question here. I have instagram application but out of curiosity, i tried to open it in the web. Everything was fine in the web, work well, fast and good, but then, instagram itself suggests that i should use the installed application for better experience. I am wondering, who suggests me the use of application the Instagram apple application so i should patrionize their store applications?

Nice question! I think this is the reason why you need to install the application instead of using the web browser. There's a loophole on the web browser access until now. Theres no option for you to upload photos or watch Instagram stories. I believe YAPPADAPPADOO platform thru Progressive Web Apps (PWA) will have a solution for this.

Use Instagram on Any Computer Like You Would on a Smartphone

Unlike Facebook and Twitter, Instagram lacks a desktop experience. The photo-sharing network limits users on how much they can post, see, and engage with if theyre logged in through a computer.

In a way, it makes sense that Instagram doesnt want you uploading professionally edited photos from your computer. The app was designed to have you share instant photos and video clips of your everyday life.

If you login to Instagram on a browser, youll be able to scroll through your feed and like all of your friends photos. You can also access your notifications and the explore tab. But theres no option for you to upload photos or watch Instagram stories. Until now.

Because everything has its loopholes, there are multiple ways you can still use Instagram on your Windows PC or Mac as if you were using it on your smartphone.

Lol! I think it became even more complicated. I read the link by the way just to make sure Im not missing anything. Thanks for your effort though Bitdane. Youre wonderful. Youve exerted effort just to bring me answer to my question.

What does it mean? That there are still features in native applications that web apps do not posses? Based on the article Bitdane brought, users can still experience a mobile application like experience with the web apps but then there are complicated instructions so i think PWA has not yet totally conquered peoples heart.
