Instagram rolls out Stories on desktop

Instagram is adding the ability for you to view Stories on desktop and mobile web so you can see the ephemeral posts on larger screens. Instead of the usual tap left or right to move between posts and stories, Instagram is adding arrows to help you navigate, The Verge says.

Soon, Instagram will also allow users to upload stories via the mobile web, which might be helpful for those who go the extra length of editing their images and videos before sharing them as stories.

The update began to roll out on Thursday, August 31 to users globally, and the upload feature is expected to come the next few months.

Instagram says it has no plans to let users upload photos or Stories from the desktop.
