"Fact: the iPad launched 15 years ago in 2010. Steve Jobs famously made himself comfortable in a leather armchair and then proceeded to show everybody how magical the iPad was for browsing the web, looking at photos, andyeschecking Facebook. Also fact: Instagram launched months later that fall, two years before Mark Zuckerberg would cut the app's founders, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, a fat check for $1 billion."
"That all changes today. Instagram is now finallyofficiallyavailable on iPad. Why did it take so long? Who the hell knows? Instagram chief Adam Mosseri has repeatedly dodged questions about bringing Instagram to iPad, claiming the company didn't have the resources or that it wasn't a priority. The important thing is now you can use your Apple tablet to watch Reels until you're soulless."
The iPad debuted in 2010 and Instagram launched later that fall, with Facebook buying Instagram two years after launch. Instagram resisted creating a dedicated iPad app for years, with leadership citing limited resources and competing priorities. A native iPad app is now available, presenting a layout similar to the roomier web version with sidebars for direct messages and comments. The iPad interface provides more screen real estate for viewing photos, memes, Reels, messages, ads, and for editing video clips. The release also adds a new Following tab with multiple sections to organize followed accounts' content.
