Instagram is slowly moving from the realm of your phone to the convenience of your laptop or desktop. Earlier this year, the social network made it possible to send and receive direct messages from your computer, which is a big step forward for a photo-sharing service that emphasizes your phone. And while chatting with your Insta friends using a real keyboard is surely more convenient, wouldn't it be nice if Instagram also made it easy to post photos straight from your computer?
Keep notes, lists, and even pictures in sticky notes on your desktop. You see the notes whenever the Stickies app on your Mac is open. Important: When you first open the Stickies app after upgrading to macOS Catalina or later, follow the onscreen instructions to import any notes you may have had in the Stickies widget in Dashboard. Apple's Stickies app has been included in Mac computers for years, including OS X Yosemite. These virtual sticky notes can be a handy way to remind yourself of upcoming tasks, provide hints for your website passwords, or anything other reason you might use a paper sticky note.

Posting from your computer isn't an official feature per se, but we'll show you a workaround to get your carefully crafted photos on the social network directly from your Mac or PC. The process takes a little bit of effort to get set up, but once you do it, it's pretty simple to keep going.
Note that you won't be able to use this trick to post videos. For now, it's a photo-only tip.

Most web browsers have a way of letting you change the 'user agent' -- the thing that tells a website what kind of device you're on -- to make it look like you're on a different device. For example, you can tell Chrome to load a webpage as if you're viewing it on an iPhone or Android, giving you the mobile version of the site. And that's exactly what we're going to do to trick Instagram.
Below are the steps you'll need to follow to post from Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari browsers.
Use Google Chrome, Firefox and Edge to publish Instagram pictures
These steps can be used to post to Insta from Chrome, Firefox and the new Microsoft Edge browser. I'm using Chrome as the example below, but the process is nearly identical for all three browsers.
Open Chrome, visit Instagram.com and sign in to your account. Right-click anywhere on the page and then select Inspect (Inspect Element in Firefox) from the list of options.

The only thing we care about is the small tablet icon in the top-left corner of the Inspector tool. In Firefox, that icon is on the top-right of the inspector tool.
Click on the icon that looks like an iPad with an iPhone next to it. The Instagram interface should refresh, giving you the mobile website, complete with the + button to create a post.
If you don't have the post button, refresh the page and it'll show up. At least, that's what worked for me.

When you're done posting your photo, click on the tablet icon again and close the Inspector tool.

Open Safari and click on Safari in the menu bar at the top of your Mac's screen. Next, click on Preferences and then select the Advanced tab.
At the bottom of the page will be a checkbox labeled Show Develop menu in the menu bar: Check it.
Next, open a new Safari window or tab and go to Instagram.com. It'll be the normal Instagram site, but that's about to change. Click on Develop in the menu bar at the top of your screen, then go to User Agent >Safari -- iOS XX -- iPhone. The 'XX' part of that will change based on the current version of iOS, but the gist of the option will remain the same.

Sarah Tew/CNETRefresh the tab or window with the Instagram site loaded, and as it reloads you'll now find a + icon at the bottom of the page. Click on the + sign to pick a photo on your Mac and then go through the steps just like you were on your phone, including selecting filters, editing and all of that fun stuff.
When you're done, make sure you change your user agent back to the Default setting to avoid viewing all websites in their mobile state.
Post Your Mac Desktop
Pretty easy, right? And now that you know how to quickly switch between the desktop and mobile version of Instagram's website, you can effortlessly post photos without having to wait for edits you make on your computer to sync to your phone.
If you're tired of your PC running slow, odds are you can fix it yourself with just a bit of effort. Same goes for Mac. We also have a guide for some hidden Mac features that are just plain fun.

Keep notes, lists, and even pictures in sticky notes on your desktop. You see the notes whenever the Stickies app on your Mac is open.
Important: When you first open the Stickies app after upgrading to macOS Catalina or later, follow the onscreen instructions to import any notes you may have had in the Stickies widget in Dashboard.
Create a note
In the Stickies app on your Mac, choose File > New Note.
Enter text. To add a picture or PDF, drag a file to your note.
Your content is saved automatically. The first line of the note is shown in the title bar when you collapse the note.
To customize your note, do any of the following:
Change the note color: Choose a color from the Color menu.
Change text formatting: Choose Font > Show Fonts. Select text, then use the Fonts window to format it.
Make the note semi-transparent: Choose Window > Translucent.
Keep the note in front of other windows: Choose Window > Float on Top.
Tip: If you like how you formatted and customized a note, you can use it as a default template. Select the note, then choose Window > Use as Default.
Add a list to a note
In the Stickies app on your Mac, do any of the following:
Add a list: Press Option-Tab, enter your first item, then press Return.
End a list (and add a regular paragraph): Click at the end of the last list item, then press Return twice.
Increase list level: Click a line in the list, then press Tab.
Decrease list level: Click a line in the list, then press Shift-Tab.
Format a list: Control-click in the list, then choose List. You can change the bullet type.
Find text in notes
In the Stickies app on your Mac, choose Edit > Find > Find, then type text in the Find field.
You can also select text, then choose Edit > Find > Use Selection for Find.
To refine your search, you can:
Select the current note or all notes.
Deselect Ignore Case to find text that exactly matches the capitalization of your search term.
Press Return to start the search.
Click Previous or Next to move to another match.
Note: You can also find and replace text. Enter the text in the Replace With field, then choose one of the Replace options.
View notes
In the Stickies app on your Mac, do any of the following:
Arrange a note manually: Click the top of a note and drag the note where you want it.
Group multiple notes: Choose Window > Arrange By, then choose an option.
Keep a note in front of other windows: Choose Window > Float on Top.
Make a note semi-transparent: Choose Window > Translucent.
Collapse or expand a note: Double-click the title bar.
Change the size of a note: Drag the note’s edge (top, bottom, or sides). To maximize the note, click the triangle in the top-right corner. Click it again to reduce the note to its original size.
See note information: Hold the pointer over a collapsed note—you see when the note was created and last edited.
If you don’t see your note, verify that the Stickies app is still open. When Stickies is closed, notes don’t appear on your desktop.
Import or export notes
You can import a text file as a single note into Stickies or export a note from Stickies as a text file. You can also export all your notes from the Stickies app and import them into the Notes app, where you can write and organize notes in a single window and see your notes on all your devices.
Post It Application For Desktop
In the Stickies app on your Mac, do any of the following:
Import or export a single note: Choose File > Import Text or File > Export Text.
You can import and export notes in common formats such as plain text, RTF, and RTFD (includes graphics). When you export text, you can choose where to save the file.
Export all notes from Stickies to Notes: Choose File > Export All to Notes, then click Export All.
All your notes are imported to Notes into the Imported Notes folder, which contains subfolders for each color of note. (Your notes also remain in Stickies.)
