Instagram finally coming to the iPad!?

June 27, 2025 / 00:45

This episode discusses the potential launch of an Instagram iPad app, the recent WhatsApp iPad app release, and the size of Instagram's development team.

The hosts express skepticism about the Instagram iPad app, citing past delays and the company's lean team despite having around 20,000 employees. They reference the recent launch of WhatsApp for iPad as a sign that it could happen.

They also touch on the frequency of app updates, noting that Instagram updates its app only twice a year, which adds to their doubts about the iPad version.

TLDR

Instagram may launch an iPad app, but skepticism remains due to past delays and infrequent updates.
