Instagram is a social media platform that was launched in October 2010. The platform was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger and was initially designed as a photo-sharing app for iOS devices.
The app quickly gained popularity among users and within two months of its launch, it had over a million registered users. In April 2012, Facebook acquired Instagram for $1 billion, which was a significant milestone for the young company.
After the acquisition, Instagram continued to grow and expand its features. In 2013, the platform introduced video sharing capabilities, allowing users to share short 15-second videos. In 2016, Instagram introduced "Stories," a feature that allows users to share short-lived photos and videos that disappear after 24 hours.
Over the years, Instagram has added numerous features, including direct messaging, live video, and shopping capabilities. In recent years, the platform has also focused on combating cyberbullying and misinformation.
Today, Instagram has over one billion monthly active users and has become a significant platform for influencers, businesses, and content creators. It has also expanded beyond its initial photo-sharing focus to include video, reels, and other types of content.
