Instagram is a popular platform for people who love sharing photos with other human beings. At the moment, one of the best ways to engage with the audience and even find new people is through social media services. If you're running a public business, you need to have a page on Facebook, Twitter, etc. I wonder how many developers and entrepreneurs look to them as inspiration to create something new and take over the market. The service in discussion has a similar story. Instagram became available in 2010, but in 2012, those in charge of Facebook acquired it for a lot of money. Since then, the popularity of this service went sky high.
To use this application, you have to provide the credentials for your account, and if everything is correct, you can manage your page quite easily. The Profile section shows stuff such as your posts and biography. The graphical user interface offers an intuitive design, and you can even take advantage of the included search feature. Using this function, you can find photos and videos from people you don't even follow. As a platform centered around photos, this app allows users to take new pictures and apply all sorts of funny filters.
Check out the Home section to see a feed of pictures posted by you and your friends, so you have to opportunity to like and comment on these items. Another useful tab is the Activity section because it shows information such as likes and comments on your posts, plus the photos and videos your friends are liking and commenting on at the moment. It wouldn't be a social platform without having a messaging system, and with Instagram, you can send messages to your friends in private and even share photos and videos with them. This feature is known as Instagram Direct. Even though many users love this component, it wasn't that perfect at first. If we receive a private message from someone we don't follow, the conversation requires us to approve it to go further.
To prove how widely regarded this app and its services are, allow me to mention some of the statistics available on the Play Store. Since its launch day, this platform has gathered more than 1 billion installs and a rating of 4 out of 5 stars. We all know how difficult it is to please people in general, but this app does a pretty decent job at it. Don't forget to take advantage of its Discover Mode to deliver relevant information in a few taps on the screen. This component uses various technologies that learn from your previous interests to provide relevant content.
For example, if you enjoy looking for food-related topics pretty often, the discover section brings more content around this category to keep you engaged. When it comes to privacy and security, the interface offers plenty of options to adjust to ensure our profiles are private if we feel like so. After all, certain users don't like everybody bothering them.
