wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-10-15 13:00:00

Apple debuted the iconic and now wildly popular iPad in 2010. A few months later, Instagram landed on the App Store to rapid success.

The new app defaults to the Reels screen, allowing you to scroll up and watch short videos on a larger screen. The iPad app has nearly all the features of the phone app when it comes to consumption.
