How to add posts to Instagram from your Windows laptop


Recently I wanted to add a post to my Instagram from my laptop instead of my phone. It would make things a lot quicker and easier to use instagram in this way.  I originally thought this couldn't be done, but when I did an Internet search I found that it can be done! I found a really good  tutorial on a YouTube video which I've embedded below.

So the steps are:

1. In Google Chrome, go to www.instagram.com and log in on your device (assuming that you have an Instagram account on your phone.

2. You'll notice that there is no way to write a post. So right click  on the screen of your Instagram, and in the window that opens go right down to the bottom and select ‘Inspect’.

3. This opens an HTML section. Go right to the top and click on  the ‘Toggle ‘ icon. (2nd from the left)  You’ll notice that a dot appears on your screen which is on the left.  Go to ‘Next’ at the top.

4. Refresh the page. You’ll find that  Instagram now looks like your mobile app except that the + sign is at the bottom instead of at the top.  From here you add your photo, resize it and add text.
