Can't reveal the exact numbers, but yeah - a lot of people use IG on web :) Mobile web was always the big focus for us though - most people assume its just a desktop only web version, but actually the mobile web version is much more fully featured than the desktop version.

I'm specifically asking about instagram staff because desktop instagram.com is embarrassingly buggy when it comes to basic core functionality such as the initial display of comments, and loading more comments using the plus symbol.
Since you're here, can I ask - is it intentional, when using IG on the web, if I click on a photo on someone's profile page, the comment section is auto-scrolled to the bottom instead of showing the description?
as a heavy desktop IG web user, this is a weird UX thing that bugs the crap out of me
I'm glad it's not just me!
Yep. So strange. Chromium 76.0.3809.100 on linux.
Please make the webpage a first-class citizen.

And, for that matter, permit hyperlinking in posts. It is the world wide web, not a strange aggregation of profile links.
