Until now, the app has revolved around the idea of people sharing photos directly from their phones, documenting experiences as and when they are taking place. However, the nature of the way people use and interact with the app has changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of Instagram accounts set up for businesses and influencers is ever-increasing. <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/social-media-marketing-small-businesses\/\">Small businesses use Instagram for social media marketing<\/a>, and utilise it to <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/instagram-branding-how-to-strengthen-your-presence\/\">strengthen their branding<\/a> and online presence. Users are uploading highly edited images, sometimes posting content that has been planned for hours, days, even weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The implications of Instagram testing this new desktop feature could spell a broader overall change in direction for the app. Spokesperson, Christine Pai <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-06-24\/instagram-tests-letting-users-post-to-feeds-from-desktop\">told Bloomberg<\/a>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u201cWe know that many people access Instagram from their computer. To improve that experience, we\u2019re now testing the ability to create a Feed post on Instagram with their desktop browser.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt Navara, a social media consultant, was among the first to spot the new test feature on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/instagram?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Instagram<\/a> lets you create + publish posts via desktop! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JWzwKg1kyO\">pic.twitter.com\/JWzwKg1kyO<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Matt Navarra (@MattNavarra) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattNavarra\/status\/1408068647025664025?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 24, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It appears that the feature will enable users to select aspect ratios and apply filters. It&#8217;s unclear as yet whether the desktop posting options will be as varied and advanced as the in-app options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram testing new features such as this suggests further attempts to compete with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\">YouTube<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/\">TikTok<\/a> to be the content creator&#8217;s favourite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">If you&#8217;re a budding content creator in need of awesome but affordable music and SFX, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/\">RouteNote Licensing<\/a> today! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instagram is testing a new feature which will allow users to finally post to their feeds via their desktop.
