The ability to upload images to Instagram only from the mobile app can often be time-consuming and require multiple steps. For someone who edits their photos and/or videos on their desktop, it can waste valuable time to then get them on a mobile device to post. However, you no longer have to go through all that hassle. Instagram is now allowing photos and videos that are less than a minute in length to be posted from the desktop version. It doesn't include the ability to upload stories or reels yet, but can help make social posts easier for those who use social media management programs since they can now include Instagram content as part of their schedule.
Andrew Hutchinson, Content and Social Media Manager for
Social Media Today, informs us of everything we need to know about this recent improvement.
It’s been a long time coming, but finally, Instagram has announced that it’s adding
image and video posting functionality from the desktop version of the platform as of October 21st, providing a more centralized way for social media managers to maintain their IG presence.
The process, which will facilitate the posting of photos and videos of less than one minute in length, will not include Stories or Reels uploads at this stage. But it will make it a little bit easier for social media managers to stay across their various apps and posts, by providing a way to upload content for each platform from the one place – so you won’t have to keep saving images in varying ways to then upload from your phone, etc.
