About
Instagram is a social media platform that originated as a photo-sharing app in 2010, founded by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. Initially launched for iOS, it quickly gained popularity, reaching one million users within three months. The app's success led to its expansion to Android in April 2012, further increasing its user base. This rapid growth caught the attention of Facebook, which acquired Instagram for approximately $1 billion later that year. Over time, Instagram has evolved significantly, introducing features like hashtags, videos, Instagram Stories, IGTV, and Reels. These additions have transformed it into a comprehensive social media platform, appealing to both individuals and businesses. With its diverse range of features, Instagram has become a crucial tool for digital marketing, allowing companies to engage with their audience through visual content. Today, it is part of Meta Platforms, Inc., and continues to play a significant role in the global social media landscape.
