Reminds me of what the official Instagram client looked like on iPad, a lot of margins, and a bit of that 640px wide feed (or whatever the actual width was)
Don't know if it's still the same
That’s because they didn’t make an iPad app and so it was just the iOS app on a large screen. Lots of app used to be like this until they made iPadOS versions.
Is there actually an OS called iPadOS? I thought it was just iOS?
There is. I think they used to run on iOS, hence the upscaling of the apps to the larger screen.
Wiki iPadOS 17
Edit: iPadOS Wiki adding this if you’re curious about the why and when they diverged.
Looks like nothing has changed. This is how it opens up on 4k screen. Although, it looks like they tweaked it a little. Up until recently I remember opening a post would show a hilariously small like 800 by 600-something box, half of which was comment section that'd fit like 5 comments at best. But now they finally made it properly scalable.
