As you might know, Opera already has several built-in messengers in the sidebar, like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram and VKontakte. The newest version of the Opera desktop app, Opera 68, now has a built in Instagram widget on it’s sidebar.
The Opera Instagram shortcut will make it easier for you to access your main Instagram feed, along with Instastories, the explore function, and DMs while you browse the internet on your Opera browser desktop app.
If you use messengers and Instagram in Opera, you get the added benefit of browsing with less distractions: you, not the app, get to decide when you deal with them. It’s a great feeling to not be bothered by constant notifications.
Having messengers at your fingertips lets you access them when you want, like after finishing a task or an article in your browser. It’s also a quick and easy way to check in with your friends or share files, articles or photos, before getting back to work.
