Instagram is a photo and video-sharing social network service owned by Facebook. It was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. Instagram allows users to upload photos and videos to the service, which can be edited with various filters, and organized with tags and location information. An account's posts can be shared publicly or with the followers you followed back. Users can browse other users' content by tags and locations, and view trending content. Users can "like" photos, and follow other users to add their content to a feed.
Instagram also added features, the ability to include multiple images or videos in a single post, also known as "Stories"—similar to its main competitor Snapchat —which allows users to post photos and videos to a sequential feed, with each post accessible by others for 24 hours each.
Instagram has been popular after its launch in 2010. However, it has been the subject of criticism, most notably for policy and interface changes, allegations of censorship, and illegal or improper content uploaded by users.
In June 2012, Instagram introduced "Explore", a tab inside the app that displays popular photos, photos taken at nearby locations, and search. The tab was updated in June 2015 to feature trending tags and places, curated content, and the ability to search for locations. In April 2016, Instagram added a "Videos You Might Like" channel to the tab, followed by an "Events" channel in August, featuring videos from concerts, sports games, and other live events, also followed by the addition of Instagram Stories in October. The tab was later expanded again in November 2016 after Instagram Live launched to display the "best" Instagram Live videos currently airing. In May 2017, Instagram once again updated the Explore tab to promote public Stories content from nearby places.
The reason I like Instagram is you can look for the post that other people posted. You may also share your own feelings on Instagram. With Instagram, you will not feel bored!
