Hold onto your iPads, folks! 🎉 In a move that’s about as timely as a flip phone in 2025, Instagram is finally getting its act together to develop a dedicated iPad app. That’s right, the social media platform that’s been around since the dawn of the smartphone era (2010, for those keeping score) has somehow managed to ignore tablet users for over a decade. 🤯
Back in 2022, Instagram’s head honcho, Adam Mosseri, dropped the bombshell that there simply weren’t enough iPad users to justify the effort. Fast forward to today, and whispers from inside the company suggest that the tide is turning. An anonymous insider spilled the beans to The Information, revealing that 2025 might just be the year iPad users get the Instagram experience they’ve been begging for.
Why the sudden change of heart? Well, with TikTok potentially getting the boot in the US, Instagram is scrambling to fill the void. And let’s be real, the current workaround—using a blown-up version of the iPhone app—is about as elegant as a giraffe on roller skates. 🦒⛸️
But wait, there’s more! Instagram isn’t just stopping at an iPad app. They’re also teasing an Edits app to rival CapCut, because why not double down when your competition is down? Mosseri’s also been chatting up storm about revamping Instagram’s search capabilities, because finding that one post from three years ago shouldn’t feel like a treasure hunt. 🏴☠️
