Instagram Enhances Its Website Experience By Adding New Activity Tab

The primarily "mobile only" application, Instagram is now making serious inroads into the website based market. Until yesterday, the Instagram website had much less features compared to the Instagram mobile application. The new website added an activity bar, symbolized as a heart inside a comment balloon which works like the notification bar in the mobile application.

#-Link-Snipped-#, an Instagram user notified the world about the new changes by tagging Instagram on Twitter. However, no official announcements were released mentioning the cool new update. An Instagram spokesperson sent an email to #-Link-Snipped-# which suggested that all users will now be able to track their notifications using the website as well.


Though the updates gifted desktop only users with a handy feature, it still does not include options to add or edit pictures on the website. Facebook owned, Instagram has now followed the path of Snapchat which had updated its website with add-ons, only last month. With this sudden intelligent move by the premier photo sharing application, Instagram has kept its promise of improving it accessibility for people who lack a smartphone.
