Ammon News - Instagram is expected to launch a brand new app that fans have been wanting for years.

That's according to a new report that claims Meta – which owns Instagram – is secretly working on a new app.

It's the long-awaited iPad version of Instagram, which has previously been called "not a priority" by top brass at Meta.

Instagram launched way back in 2010, which is the same year that Apple debuted its first iPad.

But despite pleading from fans, Instagram has never released an official app for Apple's tablet – even on the latest iPad models.

Now The Information reports that Instagram is nearly ready to release an app.

"Instagram is also working on a version of the Instagram app designed for iPads, the current employee said, which could further drive usage of Instagram," it explains.

"Currently, iPad users can download a version of the Instagram app designed for iPhones, which appears zoomed-in on iPads – not a good experience!"

The current version of Instagram on the iPad isn't a proper tablet app.

Instead it's a scaled-up version that looks much worse than the iPhone version. The Sun
