A version for Android devices was released a year
and half later, in April 2012.

• The app allows users to upload photos and videos to

the service, which can be edited with various filters,
and organized with tags and location information.
 Instagram
• Instagram was developed in San
Francisco by Kevin Systrom and
Mike Krieger.
• They decided that the app was
very similar to other already
established mobile apps, so they
pivoted to focus solely on
communication through images

social media platform in the
world at present

• The platform is estimated to

receive over 100 million new
image uploads per day

 Instagram features
Users can upload photographs and short
videos, follow other users' feeds,
and geotag images with the name of a
location. Users can set their account as
"private", thereby requiring that they
approve any new follower requests. Users
can connect their Instagram account to
other social networking sites, enabling
them to share uploaded photos to those
sites.
 Instagram features
• In January 2011, Instagram introduced hashtags to
help users discover both photos and each other.
• In August 2015, Instagram started allowing users to
upload full-size landscape and portrait photos and
videos onto the service, dropping the previous
requirement of a square frame.
• In December 2016, Instagram introduced a feature
letting users save photos for later viewing.
• Later in May 2017, Instagram added an "Archive"
feature, letting users hide posts in a private storage
area, out of visibility for the public and other users.
• In April 2018, Instagram launched its version of a
portrait mode called "focus mode," which gently
blurs the background of a photo or video while
keeping the subject in focus when selected.
