Instagram on pc

1

hi,

has anybody used Bluestacks on their PC for using Instagram? I think it allows you to use various apps on a PC.

I want to use Instagram but need to use my PC and wondered if Bluestacks was worth dowloading etc.

thanks for any help :slight_smile:

hi alison,

i only have just heard about it - would be great to use instagram on pc.

My partner uses Bluestacks- not for instagram, but to essentially allow him to use android apps on the laptop. It works great for the apps he uses, so fingers crossed itā€™ll work for instagram!

I downloaded this some months ago but it wasnā€™t very helpful and I abandoned it. I canā€™t remember now how it worked or didnā€™t work though. I ended up saving pics to dropbox and transferring to them to iPad. A lot of faff and, as a result, Iā€™m still not using Instagram very much.

My partners never paidā€¦ There was a time where you had to watch ads to use it I thinkā€¦ but then that seemed to phase out and he hasnā€™t had anything like that for a while!

Iā€™m assuming its all above board and legitimate, as far as Iā€™m aware it is?

We didnā€™t have any trouble downloading it and it was free (just didnā€™t seem to do what weā€™d downloaded it for).

Bluestacks was easy to download. Never got it to work thoughā€¦ Andyroid is another android emulator I believe, when I have 5 minutes I will give it a try!

thanks - is bluestacks a well know thing then - i just worry about viruses on pc etc.

Iā€™ve downloaded it nowā€¦ Iā€™ve not paid, I just clicked to download their sponsored games and thatā€™s the last I heard of it! It seems to be working for me, thought it doesnā€™t fill the screen but it doesnā€™t bother me too much!

Good luck with it!

hi - thanks for this.

i downloaded it too and had a go but decided to un-install in the end as was worried about all the apps you have to have in your pc and read also that it was messing peopleā€™s PCs up. i was also worried what was running in the ā€˜backgroundā€™ on my pc and using memory etc.
itā€™s a good idea though.

Not wanting to teach you to suck eggs but I thought I would mention that I post on my phone to Ig from Fb so you can share PC uploaded images.

You just hover over your fb photo to get the ā€œShare to external sourcesā€ button :slight_smile:
