Whoa. Tonight I’m trying something new—Instagram via the desktop. Wild!      

I’ve been seeing stories about how the desktop version is rolling out  but I didn’t know if it would work for me. This is a long-wished for option.  I just opened Instagram on my browser and there was the “➕” at the top of my page on the Chrome browser. What does this mean for the average user?

Assuming it works, I think it will result in a more efficient workflow. ⏳

One thing won’t change—figuring out the visual content you’re going to share. ️ But that means working on a desktop where there is more control could result in better images.  When it comes to composing an extended caption, ⌨️ some of us like to check spelling✅ and keep an eye on the character count. That usually means writing in another app, like Word. 

Until now, it has been necessary to import the text into Instagram when it’s ready. I usually email it to myself, then copy and paste it into Instaspacer to clean up the copy. (Sometimes Instagram acknowledges line breaks, but not always.)  It’s not too much more work, but as we all try to squeeze every moment of productivity out of our time, ⏱️ being able to skip a step or two is great. ‍♀️

Since I’m just now going through the process, ‍♀️ maybe more discoveries will emerge. But for now, I’m going to get my pictures gathered  and see how it all comes together. I’m so excited! 

Have you tried Instagram using the desktop?️ What do you think?

PS. I ended up abandoning the desktop! It lets you apply filters, tags, captions, but allows only one photo per post—no #carousels. #backtothedrawingboard
