Instagram is first-and-foremost developed to be utilized on a mobile device, yet you could check out, like as well as discuss pictures and also videos on the desktop computer website. Just see www.instagram.com as well as login to your account.
You can not, nevertheless, upload images or videos to your account there - or at least you can't in the beginning glance. There is a method to 'trick' Instagram right into assuming you're accessing the site via an apple iphone, which does enable picture uploads.
