That's a large drawback, however there are workarounds offered.
Upload photos to Instagram via third-party applications
There are a number of third-party apps readily available on the Mac Application Shop that provide a variety of capacities, from being able to surf your feed to examining your alerts and-- unlike the website-- allowing you to publish images from your Mac onto Instagram.
Flume
Amongst one of the most prominent is Flume, which offers your Instagram feed in a stylish window with swipe support as well as concealed menus for a tidy as well as user-friendly experience.
At a look, it appears that the application simply reveals a stream of images with no message, and also no options to like or comment. Nonetheless, clicking an image will certainly raise the caption, together with icons that'll enable you to discuss the photo and like it.
The app also shows your current notifications, leading photos as well as offers curated account referrals based on just what you post.

Just hover your mouse over the bottom left of the app as well as the menu will show up.

There is a catch, though: Flume is free to download and install yet with a minimal number of uploads before you'll need to update via an in-app acquisition to Flume Pro. It's also no more available via the Mac App Store so you'll have to download it from the Flume site.
Uplet
While Uplet does not use the ability to search your Instagram feed natively, it does offer functions that power-users could want. Uplet is a straightforward application readily available on the Mac Application Store that permits individuals to drag as well as drop pictures & videos and also bulk upload them to Instagram in a couple of seconds - however there's even more.
You could edit each image and also video like on Instagram, as well as add individual subtitles to every photo. It additionally has the crop choice featured in the app, permitting users the capacity to submit either the initial or square-size photo.
While this isn't really for laid-back individuals, it enables those die-hard Instagram followers to post several articles simultaneously. Our only complaint? It is yet to sustain the brand-new Instagram multi-photo blog post option, although we think of support will certainly be being available in the future.
Uplet costs ₤ 9.99, yet a totally free (restricted) demonstration could likewise be located on the Uplet website. Like Flume, it's no more readily available on the Mac App Shop.
