It has began rolling out the update to users globally, but Instagram says the ability to upload will be in place "in the coming months". At present, it only plans to allow users to upload from the mobile web, rather than using desktop machines.

Over 250 million people globally use Instagram Stories on a daily basis and the feature has helped cement the popularity of the platform.
