Instagram is the most popular social photography and video network today released Latest Tech News. Its objective is clear and direct: it is a mobile application designed to take photos with your 'smartphone' and share them with your followers instantly, without the need for intermediaries and without wasting time in the process.

The 'app' is designed specifically for mobile phones, not even for tablets, let alone for the computer. Even so, the software owned by Facebook has been gradually expanding its territory: you can upload photos of the mobile web (without the 'app', only with the browser), the 'app' for iPad already includes the button to upload images as in the mobile and there is also an application for Windows 10, although this is still very limited.

What you can not do natively, look at where you look, is upload photos to your profile from the computer. Despite the fast and mobile approach that has, many people do not upload things directly, but saves the photos for later and to avoid losses keep them on the PC; others decide to pass them first to the computer and retouch them there, and there are those who use digital cameras to take captures for various reasons.

In these cases where you want to be happy and upload the image directly from your computer in your Instagram profile, there are a couple of options: use third-party applications such as Gramblr or use a little trick available in some browsers such as Chrome, Mozilla or Safari , without having to install anything extra. Do you want to know how to take advantage of this trick? Attentive to the explanation.

Developer panel trick

The developer's panel is an option that incorporates all the programs, in a more or less hidden way, where complementary information is displayed on the web that is being viewed in a programming language, such as page elements, console controls, fonts, etc.

Accessing these development options, in some browsers can be made to believe that the web is not being accessed from a computer, but from an iPad. This is used to make the web design vary and Instagram has the same interface as the Apple device, so it adds a button to publish the pictures that are chosen from the folders of the computer.

Chrome and Mozilla work with the same command and it is very simple to use. To open the development panel, press the F12 key on the keyboard. This panel will work well on the right or at the bottom of the screen. Without touching anything else, enter the command Ctrl + Shift + M and the design will change automatically, as if it were an iPad.

This done, you just have to go to the Instagram website (without closing the development panel) and click on the camera icon to select which photo you want to upload. When you're finished, in Chrome you'll have to press F12 to close the panel and everything will return to normal; in Mozilla, you will have to press F12 and close the small 'Adaptive Design View' tab that is shown at the top of the window.

When you want to reupload an image, in Chrome with F12 (if you have not touched other things in the development panel in between) will serve; in Mozilla, you will have to use the command every time.

If you use Safari, this option to see the browser as if you were on an iPad with iOS is much easier, since you can access it without having to enter any command. Open the browser, go to the 'Development' tab in the top signs and there select 'User Agent'> 'Safari - iOS 10 - iPad'. If the 'Development' option is not displayed, go to 'Safari'> 'Preferences'> 'Advanced' and check 'Show the Development menu in the menu bar'.

This done, the process is the same as in previous browsers. Go to Instagram and upload the photo by clicking on the camera icon. When you are finished, go back to 'User Agent' and select the normal version of Safari (which is not accompanied by any device) to return the design to normal.
