Good morning to all!

I am not sure if you already shared this little trick, but here it is.

The majority of us know that you can publish posts using google chrome… But did you know that you can answer messages? YES! It’s really easy:

  1. Open Google Chrome
  2. Right click and select “Inspect”
  3. Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + M on PC or Cmd + Shift + M on Mac to switch to mobile view.
  4. Now, refresh the website. You should be see this:

As you may see, you can send messages, post photos or videos and even post stories.

Have a nice weekend :wink:

Thank you! I’m glad you found this useful!

To be honest, I used to use this trick to post photos on IG a few months ago, but I didn’t know that if you refresh the website, you can see it like you would in your mobile device haha

Thanks for the trick man,
It actually works on opera as well. I bet it should work on any other browser.

i know this sounds dumb to you but im somewhat new at this and how can you post photos using desktop?

#15

use the method above to switch to mobile mode on the browser(chrome, new edge from microsoft, opera) and hit the ‘+’ button you see on the bottom middle. Select your file from the ‘open files’ dialog box that comes up. Note – make sure to select all files in the file type, hit open and you are ready to go.
