Instagram finally has an iPad app. Fifteen years after the photo-sharing service launched, and more than a decade after people started asking for a native iPad app, it’s finally available. You might think that’s good news for the millions of people who use iPads as their main device for creating and consuming content.

Instagram has released its first iPad app that's optimized for larger screens. Reels, Stories, and messages are all accessible, plus a new Following tab with customizable feeds. The app is available on iPadOS 15.1 and later. We've picked the cream of the crop from tons of covert deals — save up to 45% on sandals, jeans and other wardrobe musts.

Following earlier rumors in 2025, iPad users finally saw a dedicated Instagram app arrive on their devices on Wednesday. Since the iPad's original release 15 years ago, Instagram had never been available in the App Store as a download for Apple's tablet.
