The screenshots shared show that Instagram users will be able to create new posts from the desktop site, and easily edit and upload photos or videos on their PCs with a simple ‘drag and drop’ action.
It also suggests that the platform will support JPG, MP4, PNG, and QuickTime image/video formats.
Users will be able to tag other people, add filters, descriptions, locations, and other details to images and videos, similar to that of the mobile app.
As per Paluzzi, the feature is currently being tested by Instagram only internally. “Don’t expect to be able to use it anytime soon,” the tipster tweeted. “But let’s hope it doesn’t take too long.”
Currently, it is unknown if and when the new feature will be made available to the public. Keep watching this space for more updates!
