Changes to its web app are still being made. A refresh user interface that takes advantage of large screens instead of looking like a larger version of the mobile app was introduced in the latest update.

The update was announced by Adam Mosseri. He said in a video that they wanted to make sure that the experience of using the internet was as good as possible. It's cleaner, faster and easier to use and it's designed to take advantage of large-screen monitors.

Instagram on the web has been redesigned for large screens

The home, search, explore, messages, and notification menus were moved to a new side rail that collapses to icons based on screen size. Your profile, suggestions, and more are on the right side of the screen. The left menu bar is still used when selecting any menu option.

The new interface makes it easier to use on the web, but there is no dedicated iPad app. Mosseri said earlier this year that the iPad wasn't big enough to make a dedicatedInstagram app a priority The web version would give you a better experience.
