I was an early adopter of both Instagram and the iPad. (As an iOS developer, even at the time; I have to keep up with the ecosystem as it evolves.)
I waited for years for them to create an iPad-compatible version. It is literally one of the only apps I use that still uses iPhone mode on an iPad.
'According to Mosseri (Instagram CEO), the reason for Instagram’s iPhone-only app is that the company doesn’t have the resources to develop for both platforms.'[1]
Eye. Roll. If little indie shops can have this out of the gate, I'm sure you could figure out a way to allocate some of your resources to a tablet version.
It's been ten years since both the iPad and Instagram. I get that Instagram is a photo-taking app; and typically you'd use a phone for that. Many of my friends are iPad-only on the Apple ecosystem; and they enjoy taking and editing photos, especially with the Apple Pencil, on the device.
The new iPad Pros have excellent cameras for the hardware - not nearly as great as; say, the iPhone 11, but worthy of taking pictures and it happens all the time.
