If you haven't posted on Instagram in a while, you may be confused as to where the button to start a post is, as the mobile app has shifted its appearance numerous times in recent years.
If instead you're familiar with the mobile app and wish you could seamlessly post to Instagram from your computer in the same manner as the app, you're now in luck. Instagram recently added a feature to its desktop website that is analogous to the posting method on mobile.
Here's how to post on Instagram from a mobile device or computer.

1. Go to Instagram's website in a desktop browser and log in if needed.

Click the plus sign. Insider3. Drag image or video files into the pop-up window that appears, or click Select from computer.
