Website Introduction
Founded in 2010 and acquired by Facebook (Meta) in 2012, Instagram emphasizes visual storytelling. Users post images/videos with filters, captions, and hashtags. Features include Stories (24-hour posts), Reels (short videos), and IGTV for longer content. Instagram Shopping enables e-commerce, while Explore suggests trending posts. The platform is popular among influencers, brands, and creatives for its engagement-driven algorithm. Business accounts access insights and ads, while Close Friends allows private sharing. Instagram also integrates with Facebook for cross-posting. Recent updates include Notes (status updates), Broadcast Channels (creator-fan messaging), and AI-powered content recommendations. Despite competition from TikTok, Instagram remains a top platform for lifestyle, fashion, and digital marketing.
