Instagram has no way to sign up via the web. While I understand that the vast, vast majority of people will just sign up for an account on their phone, the last thing I want to do is give that app (and Facebook) carte blanche to my contacts list.
I had to create an account on my friend's phone because there was absolutely no way to do that via their website. This is just to be able to use their API!
- dublinben 12y agoI wouldn't expect to be able to sign up for a mobile app not through the mobile app. You also have the choice of granting them access to your contacts list, it's not mandatory or surreptitious.
- mikegioia 12y agoIt's not just a mobile app anymore. You can view all of the images/comments/etc on their web site. The only reason why they restrict you to signing up via the mobile app is because they want to force you through that flow.
