Bloomberg's Mark Gurman corroborated the report in his Power On newsletter today.
Gurman said that Meta employees are "actively testing" Instagram for the iPad, and he expects the app to be released this year, barring any setbacks.

There is no word yet on whether Meta plans to release an iPad app for Threads as well.
