The team behind Instagram has been making its features exclusive to its mobile app, including one of its core functionalities – the ability to create and edit posts. Well, for years now, desktop users have been looking for a way to do so. According to a developer and tipster on Twitter, Instagram is about to let you create and edit posts from the desktop site.
He also shared a couple of mockups of how the feature would work. Supposedly, the desktop site will let you drag and drop photos and videos, crop, apply filters, tag people and locations, and the overall UI looks quite similar to the app’s.
There’s still no word on when we can expect the long-awaited functionality but it’s currently being tested internally. Also, by the time of release, some details may change.
