Instagram is an entirely visual platform. Unlike Facebook, which relies on both text and pictures, or Twitter, which relies on text alone. The sole purpose of Instagram is to enable users to share images or videos with family, friends, or, in the case of an influencer, their audience.

In simpler words, it is an online photo and video social networking service that allows users to take pictures and add filters to share with followers. Today, Instagram has come a long way since its inception, back in 2010. Many years have passed by and you may be using the app for so long now that it’s impossible to remember when you’ve created your account.
