:(For me your procedure works fine, but for my wife it doesn’t work. Then i tried again with pages reloaded…I have been using the user agent spoofing technique to post to Instagram for the past year or so (I figured this hack out myself, aren’t I smart!) You saved me a lot tedious steps when I am trying to use it at work. Simply install the plugin, add new service in Lightroom Publishing Manager and authenticate with your Instagram account. Posting isn’t its main function, far from that, but it still exists and works simply.I hope that one day they’ll let us use our computers. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong. If you want to use a larger viewport, click on the bar at the top that says “no device selected” and choose a device with a larger screen).Find the Emulation tab and choose a mobile device from the list of options.The better modern browsers have some variation of this kind of development mode user agent emulation, but I haven’t tested it on every browser.
:)I have the same problem. Thank you!Yes, that’s definitely a good side-effect of this method–not having to hand over your login credentials to some third party.

Will add this above.Have you refreshed the page? I just save the PNG as JPG. Then you can navigate thru Instagram as you normally would.

Sometimes your smartphone cannot do enough with the things you want to do with Instagram.Well, you can’t.

Many thanks, my friend.It does not work. Thanks for reporting back. Then, edit and upload the photo as usual. Genius person…….Looks like it’s been disabled. Now not only do I not have to switch between my personal account and my client’s account, but I no longer have to send myself all those images (taking up so much space on my phone) this was so helpful! Likely due to their recent algorithm.Thank you for the great post, Louise!

Thanks for the warning.The worst thing about all those apps is that now Instagram has some kind of a ban for ones that use third-party apps and services with their accounts. I have to edit the post on a smartphone. If you don’t see them in Safari, go to Preferences > Advanced and check the box for “Show Develop menu in menu bar” at the bottom. Get Graphic Design & Social Media Marketing tips from an expert.Yes, there are workarounds that I’ll share, but be sure to check my cautions.Of these, the first group is definitely sanctioned by Instagram because they’re approved partners.The second group should be OK with Instagram because you do the actual posting from your own device. I’ve tried both Chrome and Firefox. I seem to only be able to post pics, not video, is that the case for you as well?Hi, that appears to be the case, though I hadn’t tried it before. Because I scheduled at least 1 post per day – usually 2, I had to get the paid version which is $19.99 per month. This is really interesting, I’ve been captivated to read this one. Now I am saving lot of my time.Great post.
In other words, what are the next steps after choosing the mobile device type?You would click the center icon at the bottom – the same place you tap and hold on your phone or tablet. I’ve updated above. There’s no way to upload them–the usual camera icon isn’t there, like this:But there’s a way to alter the behavior of your browser to make Instagram think that you’re accessing it through a mobile device. I couldn’t get past a Net 2.0 error on Bluestacks, and on Gramblr, I can’t get past the login screen. There seems to be a new display problem, with the top section with the caption and image being mostly obscured. Heard people start putting likes and following other people for no reason and that’s another side of using third-party apps. THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING THE TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS! You just saved me from having a work project be a complete disaster! Have they figured this out then?I just tried it with Firefox 71.0 on Mac, and it’s working for me. Its intention was sharing moments as you’re experiencing them. I just want to be able to post to IG and have my copy formatted correctly (It is pretty easy to post photos from a desktop using Safari). (You might need to refresh the page.) Plus, there’s a Free version allowing up to 50 posts per month.I no longer suggest any tools that post for you, as Instagram has warned us not to use them.There are plenty of scheduling tools listed above to choose from!These might be a lifesaver if you don’t own a smartphone or tablet. When all done reload the page and it will bring Firefox browser back to normal.Also work for me using firefox, but not able to tag peopleAfter you upload your photos you have to unclick Responsive Design Mode and reload the page. I wish I would have found your method first. Use Irfanview.thank you beautiful person, i can now market my game better on instagram thanks to you, have a lovely lifei used this trick but failed.
