Instagram may soon enable users to compose grid posts from their desktops.
According to self-described leaker and mobile developer Alessandro Paluzzi, who discovered the feature via reverse engineering, Instagram is currently testing the feature internally. Currently, users can consume Instagram on desktops, though posting is relegated to the mobile app.
The test launches with a compose screen, where creators can drag photos or videos in order to upload, including jpg, png, mp4, or quicktime files. Creators can then crop their posts into square, portrait, or landscape mode; apply filters and edits; tag other users; and then post.
