How to Download the Instagram iPhone App to Your iPad

Although a specific Instagram app isn’t available for iPad, and the Instagram app in the App Store is tailored towards the iPhone or iPod Touch, you can still enjoy the complete IG experience on your iPad.

How to Post to Instagram From Your iPad

Since you’ve installed the Instagram app you’ll now be able to post to IG right from the iOS Photos app.

How to Browse Instagram on Your iPad

While you could browse IG through the iPhone-specific app with its tiny window size and vertical-only layout, that’s far from ideal. You’re better off using a web browser like Safari, which can expand to provide something close to the full-screen experience that Instagram was intended for.

How to Add to Your Instagram Story

The process of adding an item to your Instagram Story on iPad is the same as doing so on your smartphone, via the app itself. However, the app does not support landscape orientation so you’ll need to do so with your tablet in Portrait mode.

Third-Party iPad Apps for Instagram

In addition to Instagram’s official app, there are third-party options like Buffer or Repost available in the App Store that let you view your IG feed in a custom interface. Some also allow you to share new posts.
