Com Tech Timeline "Instagram"

Instagram was founded in 2010 by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, the app was designed to allow people to share, comment and like pictures. It gained 1 million followers after 2 months of the launch. It was later bought by Facebook in 2012 for 1 billion dollars, it later began to develop features such as filters, stories, promotional ads, IGTV, and direct messaging over the last 10 years and it currently has over 1 billion users. Instagram has changed the way we communicate with people through our time, we can like and follow people halfway across the world. Instant messaging and sharing pictures from different people, it’s considered one of the most popular photography editing apps. People can promote their business, brand, recent travels and trends. In my own opinion, I can honestly say that Instagram is one of my favorite apps due to the fact that it contains so many features, and you’re able to engage with anyone on the platform, even celebrities if you wanted to. Influencers and celebrities are a big part of Instagram, influencers and even the celebrities gain and earn money from their followers. Doing this they advertise products or anything they think will grab their audience attention and buy, the more followers the more revenue. Instagram really ties into social status, obviously if you have that blue check you’re automatically deemed as “verified” which is what everyone wants but can’t have. When people see that you’re verified on Instagram they automatically will assume you are an influencer, which would be commonly true.https://medium.com/@obtaineudaimonia/how-instagram-started-8b907b98a767
