Instagram Changes web interface to accept comments and likes

The Instagram started as a service and hipster to apply filters on images, then share them on social networks, but over the years has been raising millions of users and grew enough to be bought by Facebook. Perhaps influenced by its new parent company, this week its version of the web service has received a deserved revamped both in design and functionality.

The news released this Thursday (28) is that those who open a photo Instagram web (with this test if you like) can comment on the image or like it. The caption of the photo now appears on it, with the location (if the user has selected).

This was only possible through the applications for Android and iOS and third-party sites, that implement the API service to enable these features. Now you just need users to log into the web for Instagram that interaction is possible with photos.

Improving the web interface still does not allow something that most users insist: a means to access all your photos in one place, a gallery. For while users continue to see their full collection of images by means only of mobile applications.
