There are numerous ways to Upload to Instagram from MacBook and in this article, we will be talking about those methods and which is the best.
Instagram is a photo Sharing app that lets its user share pictures and videos on the platform. Unfortunately, this is limited to just Smartphones and tablet users. This doesn’t sit well with people who have an active Instagram account and would like to continue using the platform on their MacBook if their phone or tablet gets lost or stolen. Also, what about people who do not have a phone or tablet but would still like access and use Instagram?
Well, there has been some work around and some apps have seen this as an opportunity to offer a service based on that. Apps like Flume, Uplet and the rest. These apps are really good and give the ability to use Instagram to an extent. For one, you won’t get the traditional look and feel of Instagram while using those apps because they use a different UI(User Interface).
Asides that, and some other minor things they’ve quite already and Worth checking out, but to me. Instagram will not be the same without the UI. This reason and this alone is why I’m going with BlueStacks App Player for this tutorial. The Bluestacks app will help users upload to Instagram from MacBook effectively.
