A step users have waited 15 years for… An iPad version of Instagram

iPad users can now download the new app from Apple’s App Store, in a long-awaited move.

The iPad version differs from the smartphone one, as it opens directly to the Reels tab, which competes directly with TikTok—highlighting the growing importance of short-form video.

The new app retains the familiar features such as displaying Stories at the top of the home page, while also offering the option to switch to the Following tab to browse feeds similar to the mobile experience.

After its surprise launch of the official WhatsApp app for iPads, it seems Meta is finally preparing to meet one of the most persistent user demands by releasing a native Instagram app for iPads—more than a decade after largely ignoring this category of tablets.

According to a previous report by Kaya Yurieff and Kalley Huang on The Information, later confirmed by tech journalist Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, Meta employees have already begun internal testing of the app, with strong indications that it will be publicly released before the end of 2024—unless major issues arise.
