Create your Instagram account
It is inevitable to have an Instagram account. And, if you want to upload or view Instagram Stories, you have to do it as a user. Here there is no trap or cardboard. Therefore, if you do not have a user account, you will have to register directly on the Instagram website. The good thing is that, from now on, the service is also web, so the rest of the functions are carried out from the Internet browser, and not from the app. If we wish, of course.
If we already have an Instagram account, we just have to access it by entering our user data. As if it were the application the first time we started it on the mobile.
The important thing is that both processes can be carried out directly on the Smartphone. Do not go near a computer under any circumstances.
Enjoy Instagram Web
After the latest changes, Instagram is fully operational through the web version. That is, the application is not needed for almost anything. Once we log in, the browser screen becomes that of the application. Here we can browse freely through the publications of the accounts we follow. All this without restrictions when it comes to offering Likes or Likes or commenting on any of the content. Whether photos or videos.
The good thing about this web version is that it allows almost complete use of the application. So we can post photos on our profile with almost the same process. Of course, without any filter You just have to click on the + button in the lower middle part and choose if you want to use the mobile camera or access the gallery.So we can take a snapshot of the moment or choose any image stored on the mobile. Of course, say goodbye to filters and editing options.
And the same with Instagram Stories or Instagram Stories. The web version of Instagram respects the design of the application. That's why you can find all these stories at the top of the browser A great success to respect the user experience and not mislead users.
Watching and posting Instagram Stories
Well yes, the Instagram Stories function is also available, operational and functional almost entirely in the web version as well. In this case, to see the stories, you just have to click on the desired one at the top of the screen. Playback starts automatically, just like in the app.Also we can keep our finger on the screen to pause playback Or slide it to go to the next story. Of course, you will have to click on the triangular button of the videos to play them. And press the back key of the terminal to exit this mode.
If we want to create an Instagram Story we can also do it in the web version, without the application. Just press the camera icon at the top left of the screen. With this we can activate the camera of the terminal or access the gallery to choose a photograph, although not a video. Then we confirm the content and access the editing screen. A cropped version only allows us to write a text and take it anywhere on the screen. Of course, we can change its color and size.
With this, all that remains is to publish the story on our profile. And ready. All this without having downloaded Instagram on the mobile at any time.
