Even Windows 10 tablets get an Instagram app before the iPad
It's available for PCs too, but some devices may not be able to upload photos and videos.
Instagram brought its filter-driven social network to Windows 10 mobile back in the spring and now it's doing the same for PCs and tablets running Microsoft's OS. The photo and video app is now available for desktops and slates, meaning its now an option across all Windows 10 devices and a true universal app. Just like the versions for other operating systems, Direct, Explore and Stories are all tools here for viewing photos and videos alongside capture and editing features.
There is one caveat with the Windows 10 version of Instagram. You'll need a PC or tablet with a touchscreen in order to upload your images or videos. Yes, it sounds strange, but at least Microsoft's Surface line will give you full functionality. "Keep in mind that other devices running Windows 10 may not support certain features, like the ability to capture and upload photos and videos," the app's page in the Window's Store explains.
While Windows 10 users are able to use the app across all of their devices, iPad owners are still dealing with the iPhone version for Instagram on Apple's slates. Further proof we can't always get what we want, I suppose.
