Instagram Finally Lands on iPad After 15 Years
After years of waiting, Instagram finally makes its debut on the iPad with a fully optimized app.
It’s been one of the most requested features in Apple’s ecosystem for over a decade — and now, at long last, Instagram is officially available on the iPad. After 396 app updates and 15 years, Meta has delivered what users have been asking for since the app first launched in 2010.
Why It Took So Long
Instagram’s leadership has long argued that iPad development wasn’t a priority, given that most users engaged via iPhone. But with iPadOS evolving and larger-screen usage booming, the company finally shifted course.
What to Expect
The iPad version isn’t just a stretched-out iPhone app. It has been optimized for iPadOS, taking advantage of the larger screen for browsing feeds, Reels, and Stories. The layout also better supports multitasking, making Instagram feel at home on Apple’s tablet.
Apple Secrets Take
For iPad owners, this move is more than just convenience — it closes one of the biggest gaps in the iPad app ecosystem. While it took far too long, Instagram on iPad is finally real, and it could change how many creators use the device.
