The screenshots shared by the Paluzzi (via Twitter) suggest that the platform will support JPG, PNG, MP4, and QuickTime image/video formats.
Once the image or video is uploaded, people can move ahead to the next step that involves cropping the media, if required. Users can add various filters that are similar to the ones found on the Instagram app. Additionally, they can add the location tag, much like it’s done on Instagram and even Facebook.
However, there a couple of functionalities that might not be added. It is suggested that people won’t be able to take pictures from their desktops/laptops to post on Instagram. They can only post existing photos and videos. To recall, this ability is available on Instagram’s mobile web app version.
For those who don’t know, Instagram isn’t still available as a full-fledged app on iPad and works as an iOS one. This information might prove helpful for iPad users too.
