Recently Instagram developers added buttons to allow pc users to swipe between photos. This came from an outcry of PC users who were unable to swipe photos on Instagram PC. Either the software would close or take the users to camera.

Nevertheless, a problem had presented itself.
Some users were able to swipe using a 4-way scroll mouse whereby clicking on the left button would allow the users to scroll; another method was having the track pad recognize vertical and horizontal movements, or by having a mouse that had touch gestures supported such as Logitech and Asus and lastly the Instagram web developers had integrated the swipe but it did not work for all users, so technically, it was a hit or miss for some PC users.

The underlying issue presented itself in the transition from mobile devices to PCs, simply, between Android and Windows OS. Instagram developers had implemented the swipe function but it could not be registered by PCs hence the growing inefficiency. Operating systems on PCs such as Windows could not support the swipe functionality.

This issue was brought to Instagram developers who created a swipe button for their PC users.
