Know Instagram


Instagram is a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your photos with friends and family.
Snap a picture, choose a filter to transform its look and feel, then post to Instagram. Share to Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr too.



Instagram is a free photo sharing program that has been launched in October 2010.It allows users to take a photo, apply a digital filter to it, and then share it on a variety of social networking services, including Instagram's own. A distinctive feature confines photos to a square shape, similar to Polaroid images, in contrast to the 4:3 aspect ratio typically used by mobile device cameras.
Instagram was initially supported on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch; in April 2012, the company added support for Android camera phones running 2.2 (Froyo) or higher. It is distributed via the iTunes App Store and Google Play.


On April 9, 2012, Facebook announced it would acquire the company (and its 13 employees) for approximately $1 billion in cash and stock, with plans to keep it independently managed.


Instagram development began in San Francisco, when Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger chose to focus their multi-featured HTML5 check-in project Burbnon mobile photography.
By December 2010, Instagram had one million registered users. In June 2011 Instagram announced five million users, passing ten million in September the same year.


Instagram announced that 100 million photos had been uploaded to its service as of July 2011. The total reached 150 million in August. In April 2012, it was announced that over 30 million accounts were set up on Instagram.
Instagram's new Android version in Google Play crossed more than one million downloads within 12 hours.
