How can I edit Instagram content on a larger screen if I have difficulty working on my phone?

If you have an iPhone and a Mac computer, you can use a built-in feature called iPhone Mirroring (available on newer devices and OS versions). Both devices need to be signed into the same Apple ID. On the Mac, open the iPhone Mirroring app (it looks like an iPhone icon in your dock). This will display your iPhone screen on your computer, allowing you to control it with your mouse or trackpad. If using an Apple Magic Mouse, you can pinch, zoom, and rotate just like on a phone screen. Note that video editing is often easier with gestures than a mouse, so a trackpad or Magic Mouse works better than a standard mouse. Alternatively, consider getting a used or refurbished iPad for a larger screen with full touch functionality at a lower cost than a new device.
