Initial View of Instagram Web.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIf you ask when Instagram had a website, the answer is after Mark Zuckerberg acquired Instagram in 2012. After the acquisition, Mark wanted Instagram to be like Facebook which can be accessed via the web or browser.<\/p>\n
However, at that time, Instagram Web features were still very limited. Mark actually focused on making Instagram Apps for Desktop which he made in 2016. However, in 2019, the application was discontinued, making Facebook (Meta) focus on this Instagram browser.<\/p>\n
You can access Instagram Web with the url address instagram.com<\/a>. After that, you can enter the username or email registered on Instagram and the password. If successful, you will enter the Instagram homepage as usual.<\/p>\nPros and Cons of Instagram Web<\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.vcgamers.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/solen-feyissa-KWZa42a1kds-unsplash.jpg\")

Different from WhatsApp Web<\/a> or Line which requires initial authentication, Instagram Web doesn't require it.<\/p>\nSecond<\/strong> is wider view<\/strong>.

For users Google Chrome<\/a>, there are several Instagram extension<\/a> which you can try.

View Explore Instagram. Source: Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs the author stated above, Instagram has more matured the concept on Smartphones than the website. From experience, the writer found four disadvantages of Instagram Web.<\/p>\n
First<\/strong> is There is no feature for creating IG Stories yet<\/strong>. The reason makes sense, namely that it is not possible for Instagram Web users to create IG Stories.<\/p>\nNo one goes to the mall or eats at a restaurant while opening a laptop. Right, right?<\/p>\n
Second<\/strong> is can't search for users from following or followers<\/strong>. If you use Instagram on a Smartphone, you can click on the number of your following\/followers, then you search by name.<\/p>\nBut, on the Instagram Website, you have to scroll to find the name of the account you want to know.<\/p>\n
Third drawback<\/strong> is the explore view is too big<\/strong>. You can find the explore feature on Instagram when you click the search button. Later, you will be presented with several posts and videos from similar accounts that you follow.<\/p>\nIf a smartphone with such a small screen can display several posts, the monitor should be able to display more. But, in fact, the Explore feature on Instagram Web can only accommodate six! A little disappointed because it does not take advantage of the existing space.<\/p>\n
Last drawback<\/strong> is settings that are not as complete as those in the Smartphone application<\/strong>. If on a Smartphone, you can change the DP background, change it to Dark Mode, and so on.<\/p>\nBut, on the Instagram Website, you can't set that up. So, you will be back with the original look, white background.<\/p>\n

Those are the sundries of Instagram Web that you must know. With the Instagram Website, there is no reason for you to miss trends even if your smartphone is dead.<\/p>\n
