Samsung televisions in the United States now support a native Instagram application. The integration allows users to browse content such as Reels and Stories on large screens, providing an alternative to viewing on mobile devices.
The feature follows previous integrations with other platforms. CNET reports that the functionality is already available for Google TV and Amazon Fire TV systems, which provide similar capabilities for viewing social media content in a larger format.
According to Engadget, the application became available for Samsung hardware approximately six months after its initial launch on Amazon Fire TV devices. The expansion provides additional hardware compatibility for users seeking to view platform content on television sets.
