If you want to mimic Instagram’s artistic filters, there are many free alternatives available for desktop use.

This will result in the mobile version of the page being sent back to you, complete with the new image upload function.Īnother easy method is to install an extension such as User-Agent Switcher for Chrome which will allow you to change the user agent setting at will. By changing this setting, you can trick Instagram into thinking you are connecting from a mobile device. The user agent string, sent by your browser on each web page request, identifies the type of browser and operating system you’re using so the website can tailor its pages to work well on your device. On other browsers, such as Safari, Firefox or Microsoft Edge, you will need to manually change the user agent setting in your browser. Click the icon which looks like a phone and a tablet, circled in red, to switch to mobile mode.
