If you have an Apple Mac desktop or laptop and you use the Safari web browser, there’s a trick you can use to upload one or more photos from your Mac to your Instagram profile. (Windows users, you’re out of luck.)
You use the Boomerang app to create and post mini-videos on your feed. Your camera takes a burst of photos, and Boomerang stitches them together, creating a quick video clip that plays backward and forward — like a Boomerang flies … get it?You can use the Layout app to combine multiple photos into one photo and post the combined photo on your feed without having to swipe back and forth between photos.
