I think that's a key part of the article. While I do understand their current vision to keep Instagram mobile upload only, I do wonder if that plan ever gets changed by a business decision with Facebook. I suppose time will tell if they can stick true to this or not.
As @NathanKP said, it is interesting to see some photo filters feel much more grainy on the web than they do on my iPhone.
- pefavre 14y agoI think it's smart for them to keep the mobile upload only strategy. It keeps their network free of reposted images instead of live pictures. Or at least it tries to.
- denzil_correa 14y agoI concur. I think they are still very much with the core of the initial Instagram concept - click/edit/upload photos easily on the go. The core concept still remains the same.
