INTERNATIONAL – Users will soon be able to get notifications when using Instagram through a browser on their pc.
This is according to a report by Android Police, stating that there is Chrome support for the feature.
The service will ask for permission first, and then notify you whenever there’s any activity on your accounts such as for as new followers, likes, or comments.
The functionality works across both desktop and mobile and has also come to Instagram Lite, the service’s alternative low-data, low-resource app.
