How to use Instagram in Vivaldi browser

varsha

Yes, Vivaldi is the only desktop browser that lets you use this popular app without touching your mobile phone. Here is a guide with some smart tricks.

A faster way to open a Web panel on a new tab is to use the middle mouse button (if you have such a mouse) to click the panel switch.

@varsha Nice one. The "Show Desktop Version" did the trick. Thanks.

@varsha When can we expect "autofill data" to be working (be remembered/being able to click saved data) in web panels? For example you have to type and re-type username and password everytime you open the browser using the vivaldi.net webmail in the web panel, which insta-kills any potential usefulness of it.

Is it possible to add location and tag people when posting using webpanel? I see the options are visible, but that's as far as I get.

@LonM For those without a MMB, Ctrl+Click ought to work, but it does not. It toggles the Web Panel Close/Open, the same as the Single Left Click behaviour.

Bug Reported as:

(VB-49161) Shift+Click and Ctrl+Click on Web Panel Icon Toggles Panel

How can I upload multiple images to create a carousel? Also, to add location I see enable location services. Where/how is that done? Thank you!

When i'm on mobile version of Instagram the entire description box gets hidden. I can't see what i'm writing on it and hidding the panel did not work. It's the faster wya to upload my digital arts on it, but I can't write captions on the posts. >:

Second. All of a sudden the only reason I use this browser is now useless. Was there an update?

@stupidlogic Did you set "Show Mobile Version"?

@dragonchuu: I am having the same problem - cannot see the area to enter the description when on the mobile version. I just installed this yesterday to make things easier for myself as I hate typing on my phone. Very disappointed - I hope there is a solution.

I successfully uploaded a square image taken with an iPhone 6s Plus using Vivaldi on a MacBook Pro with macOS Moavi, Version 10.14.3. Then I tried to upload a square image taken in 2007 with a Canon Digital Rebel. Both images had been clipped to square in Photos. I can't upload the second image because I get the message "Rotate your device to add to your story." with no way to proceed past this point. Any suggestions?

@raw915 Ignore the above comment. I was using the app incorrectly and now everything works OK.

Hello everyone,

It was an Instagram issue. According to their reply (I have the source, just in case), their appl is to be used by mobile, not web browser. Anyway, I got it (no delete option found)
In case of any issue, please. let us know.

Thank you for this thread. It´s great to use Vivaldi to post photos on IG.
Can we also see and answer DMs ? Thank you again and have a great weekend in advance!

With this panel can we also send and read Instagram DMs?
Thank you !

lamarca

I can't do that.

ozoratsubasa

I think that is not possible

@ozoratsubasa According to their support reply (a bug where instagram didn't allow submit posts through web panel ), the appl was not designed for web browsers.
