Now you can experience a different view of the world from a more local perspective, and instantly glance at other users' snapshots no matter where they're located. Easily find content relating to any of your interests by running a quick search, and tag your posts to make them more visible by adding hashtags. But now, Instagram has scooped up features that originated on Snapchat including facial filters (masks), live-streaming video, stories and the new release of IGTV.ĭespite its many attributes, Instagram's ubiquity truly lies in its capacity to cause interaction among users who are endlessly supplied with heaps of the best videos, pictures, and moments on the internet.

Initially, Instagram's main function revolved around embellishing your photos with a series of filters and unique frames like: XPro-II, Earlybird, Lo-fi, Sutro, Toaster, Brannan, Inkwell, Walden, Hefe, Nashville or 1977. After evolving from a simple photo filter app it took on a myriad of features to add a more social aspect to sharing your photos-quickly emerging as one of the top social networks among young and old alike.

Nowadays the infamous platform is a daily event in millions of people's lives. Not too long ago Instagram was just your regular über-popular photo app that was only on iOS.
