Instagram's capabilities can be used without a mobile version. It is convenient to periodically view other people's photographs without registration in online services. To upload your content, install one of the programs that have more functions, or an Android emulator. If you want to take a look at Iconosquare.

The installation method through the emulator is shown in the video:

Contrary to general rule marketing, which states that the greater the reach of the audience of potential customers, the better for the business, in 2010 the Instagram company launched social project with an eye solely to iPhone users. The trick worked: when the Instagram client came out in the highly anticipated version for Android and then for mobile Windows, the audience of the social photo network grew hundreds of times in record time.

However, the developers did not continue to popularize Instagram at the expense of computer users. As a result, several million more users who do not have a modern smartphone, but have a more or less modern PC, were left behind.

You can wait a long time until Facebook decides to open direct access to its photo network from a computer, or you can use one of the tricks and start using Instagram fully from a computer right now. It is enough to install a special emulator program on the PC.

Registering to Instagram from a computer

The easiest way to sign up for a photo network is by borrowing a suitable mobile device from someone. If this is not possible, the Bluestacks program will help - the only stable Android device emulator that allows you to run almost any Android application on a Windows computer, including Instagram. The official website of the program is www.bluestacks.com. Linux PCs are not supported.

The emulator installation process is normal. It is best to leave Bluestacks default settings. As soon as the shutdown process is over, the program will automatically start and will continue to run along with Windows. IN manual mode you can start it by clicking on the Start Bluestacks shortcut.

Now you need to download the Instagram app. Since the download will come from the official Android app store, a Google account is required. Register an account through a browser or postpone registration until the direct installation of the program through Bluestacks.

By default, the emulator runs in full screen mode. If the full screen mode is inconvenient for you, press the F11 button or click on the double arrow on the right side of the program window to make the working window compact.

Open the "Search" section in Bluestacks, type "Instagram", confirm the request by pressing Enter and select "Continue" in a new window.

At this stage, you will need to enter identification data or register a new profile, and then re-enter your username and password. If you cannot switch the Cyrillic layout to English, enter your data, for example, in Notepad, and then copy it into Bluestacks. To insert a username and password into the authorization form, use the combination Ctrl + V.



You may then need to start searching for the application again. After the system finds Instagram on Google Play, click on its icon and install it as if you were installing it on a mobile device.

After installation, the Instagram application will appear in the Bluestacks section with applications. Open it from there or from the "Notification Panel".


Choose the best registration method, fill in the required fields and start working with your profile.


Setting the avatar

Like all major services, Instagram has its own official website on the Internet. Any user of the photo network can log in to this site and, if desired, change the profile. However, there is no way to upload an avatar. To install an avatar using Instagram from a computer, you will have to use Bluestacks or Bluestacks + Gramblr.

Open your Instagram profile through Bluestacks, click on the avatar circle and choose a way to upload your image from the options provided. You can take a picture with a webcam or choose a ready-made image from the library.

If your computer is not powerful enough, it is not recommended to add an avatar using the emulator, since at a certain point the program freezes, leaving no chance to continue working with it. In this case, the above-mentioned Gramblr application will come to the rescue, which can be downloaded at gramblr.com/uploader.

Working with Gramblr is easy. Run the program and log in with your Instagram account. Prepare an image for an avatar with a size of 650x650 pixels and a weight of no more than 500 kilobytes. The picture format must be .jpg. In the next step, come up with a signature and, if you like, send the link to your friends. Done.

Unlike uploading an avatar, the Bluestacks emulator handles uploading photos completely. You only need to adjust the photo to the specified dimensions (for this you can use a special generator on the website www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/favicon-generator-crop-images) and after uploading the image, select the Lightbox Image parameter in the Instagram application settings to select the main area of \u200b\u200bthe photo.

For applying filters and processing photos, use our - a special section on Instagramа.net. When the photo processing is finished, save it and call it the desired name.

Finally

You can read comments on photos, watch likes and updates from the official Instagram website as well as from our section. For everything else, you need Bluestacks. Of course, using a popular photo service in this way is not very convenient, but if you do not have a compatible smartphone or tablet, there is no other way out.

To make it easier to work with Instagram for a computer, you can install the Instasize application through Bluestacks, which is useful for publishing photos in any size, and the Instarepost application for reposting photos of other users.

If you have an Instagram account, you probably wondered at least once whether you can use it not from a smartphone, but from a computer. Can! We will tell you how to do this in this article. And let's start with the most popular question.

It is not only possible to see likes on Instagram through a computer, but also quite easy.

That's all the possible actions with likes that you can and would like to carry out using a computer, not a phone. Read the article further and find out what else you can use to fully work Instagram from a PC.

Finding friends with Iconosquare

We have already figured out how to view subscribers using this service. Let's find out how you can find new friends. Pay attention to the small window in the upper panel of the site. It is for searching. We drive into it the login of the person whom we want to add as a friend, and we see in front of us a list of similar logins. We find the person we need.

We write to Direct

If it is convenient for you to use Insta from a computer, then you will probably want to send private messages through this network, that is, use the so-called Direct (Instagram Direct). There are two ways to do this.

1st method. Instagram for Windows 10

The official PC application allows you to easily write to Direct from your computer. It is very easy to handle.

• Launch Direct and add a new conversation.
• Choose what we will send: photo, video or text. Create a message.
• We select a recipient and send him our message. Done!

By the way, you can attach a photo downloaded from a PC or taken with a camera to a text message. However, in the second case, the image will not be processed. If you want to apply Insta's proprietary filters, you need to select a message in the "photo" format.

2nd way. BlueStacks

BlueStacks is a PC emulator program that recreates Android OS on your PC. Download it and start using it.

• Log in through your Google account. If you don't have it, then we create it.
• Go to Play Market, find Instagram in it and install.
• We log in and use all the benefits of Instagram from a computer, including writing to Direct.

What else can you do with BlueStacks?

Since we are talking about this wonderful program, let's find out what else interesting you can do with it from a computer.

Of course, you can upload an avatar and any photos using proprietary filters and settings. You can accept applications, find friends - absolutely everything that you have done before from your smartphone. Moreover, you do not even have to do any unfamiliar and incomprehensible actions, since your Instagram will look from a computer exactly the same as from a mobile.

Updating Instagram on your computer

How we update Insta on a PC depends on how we use this social network. All Insta subscribers who come from a computer can be roughly divided into two categories: those who use the official website and those who use additional services or programs.

The official Instagram website is good primarily because it is official and that actions with it do not require any additional gestures. And there will be no problems with updating here either: the site will update its functionality and inform you about it. It's the same with online services like Iconosquare - they'll get updated without you noticing.

If you apply any additional paid or free programs, you will have to update them yourself. However, both BlueStacks and other options are easy to update, request updates themselves and remind you of them.

With the advent of gadgets and other mobile devices, the computer has receded into the background for many users. PCs are still used for work that requires the support of powerful programs. In addition, some people find it difficult to abandon stationary hardware in favor of small devices. But for many users of smartphones and tablets, computers have become a thing of the past. Developers of various popular applications are betting heavily on mobile devices and are engaged in the modification and creation of mobile applications. One of these is Instagram. But how can such applications be used for people without gadgets? and what the application is, we will talk in this article.

Today this is a fairly popular trend in the service. It involves photographing various dishes and posting the corresponding photos in your account. Basically, there are original dishes prepared in cafes and restaurants.

How to start using?

Unfortunately, not every user is so lucky that he can use this application through an IPhone or a phone with the Android platform. Sometimes there is no opportunity or desire to acquire new phone... As a result, purchase new gadget for a lot of money and not everyone would like to be disappointed in this network.

But you can still try Instagram before buying a phone. Registration for a computer is a simple matter, as you can go through it and just upload photos to sample. To do this, you must first download the program, which is an excellent simulator of the "Android" system. It's called BlueStacks.

With all this, "Instagram" (for a computer) works the same way as any other program, that is, it runs in a separate window, you can copy information using the clipboard or via file system... Well, and, probably, it is already clear that the program sees everything network connections computer and uses them.

How to install Instagram?

So, to install the Instagram application (for a computer), you first need to download the BlueStacks program and install it.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to choose exactly where to install the program, but this is not the most important thing. After the installation is complete, a corresponding shortcut will appear on the desktop, by clicking on which you will open the program. An icon will appear, through which you can reboot "Android", if required.

If you are not comfortable using full screen mode in the program, then you should just press the necessary button on the emulator below. You can customize the program through a button that looks like a gear. But our first priority is to install Instagram for windows computer... In order to get started, you should first use the search inside the program and type the name Instagram in the line.

How to install Instagram for a computer?

The application we need will be the very first among the results, and to get it, you just have to press the button - "Install". For the reason that we download the Instagram application for computers and phones from the Play Market, which was created by Google, you will have to log into your account before installing. If you do not have it yet, the system will immediately prompt you to start it. Creating a new account doesn't take a lot of time.

Authentication

You can make a two-step authentication account to use the Instagram app for your computer with more security. The first login is carried out under a separate password installed on the BlueStacks program, and only then you can log into your Google account. It immediately becomes clear that with one-step authentication, such difficulties will not arise, but also safe mailbox will not be either.

After you go through authorization under your data in the GooglePlay service, you will immediately be able to install Instagram (the version for the computer is meant). In addition, you can immediately try out any other application and even a game.

What to do after installation?

Using the installed emulator, you can also synchronize data on the Android phone, which in some cases is very useful. But do not focus on this, since we are more interested in the mobile version - "Instagram" for the computer.

After the installation is complete, go to the “My Applications” tab from the main screen of the program and try to launch it. After that, you will need to register or log into an existing account.

In principle, further registration in the "Instagram" application in Russian for a computer will not differ from the usual one. Therefore, there is nothing special to explain here.

"Instagram" for a computer via a browser

Of course, I would very much like to get such an opportunity, since we still spend more time at the computer than at the phone. Therefore, I would very much like to enter this social network using a browser. In general, there is such a possibility, of course, but it has some limitations.

First of all, the program "Instagram" for a computer allows you to view the profile of any user. To do this, you just need to know the login.

On the user's page, you can see which photos have been added, how many subscribers and subscriptions he has.

For example, in this way you can look at the page of some of your idols. It contains a list of all added photos and a full-size preview will be available. You can also read other people's and leave your comments.

But here it should be borne in mind that it does not matter if you have Instagram installed for your computer or phone, you can put likes, write comments and so on only after you log into your account.

What else will be available after login?

On home page site, you can follow your feed (new photos added by those you subscribed to are shown here). It is also possible to view and leave comments on the photo.

Among other things, "Instagram" -registration for a computer allows you to view and edit your data in your profile.

You will also be asked to make yourself a so-called business card, that is, a button that will open your profile on the site.

These are all the available features of the official website when accessing it through a computer. Probably, something is still missing here. For example, there is no way to upload photos directly from your computer. Even in the Api, such a service has not yet been implemented. Also, you cannot search for photos by hashtags and usernames or browse the most popular topics. Well, although this is an Api, and a variety of other services implement these capabilities.

Services that empower

Let's take a look at one of the services called Webstagram. He and similar services use the Api of Instagram, and therefore it is necessary to register on them through the exact same login form. If you have already been authorized on the site, then the login data will be received from the browser.

The service allows you to view the feeds of people you are subscribed to, put likes, write comments, subscribe and unsubscribe from user pages, view the most popular photos and search by hashtags.
