Not even just first party. My partner uses Instagram on an iPad, and the app looks like trash. Just a zoomed in version of the phone UI. Facebook has infinite money, uses Instagram to drive further revenue, and even they cannot be bothered to give the app any TLC.
- wlesieutre 2y agoIt’s a zoomed in version of the phone UI because it’s literally the iPhone app. Apple lets you run iPhone apps on iPad and that’s how they look. Probably better off adding a shortcut to the website in this case, since Instagram is so determined to not have an iPad app.
- interpol_p 2y agoAt this point I can only guess that it's an explicit decision by Facebook not to support iPad — that is, they have some reason for wanting their user base to preference their interactions with the app using their phones
- jwells89 2y agoI think it’s probably because photos posted there are too low resolution and/or compressed to look good filling up the majority of a tablet screen.
