People love taking photos. A lot of us like taking photos of ourselves so much that the coined term selfie, meaning a photograph of one’s self taken by one’s self, has been officially part of the dictionary. Now, people not only take millions of selfies but are also fond of taking pictures of food, clothing, and virtually anything that we think we need to capture.
With the popularity of selfies, more and more people are posting these photos in their social media accounts. Originally there was Facebook and then people started posting photos with their tweets on Twitter. Now, there’s a social network service that specializes in photo and video-sharing called Instagram.
What is Instagram?
Instagram is an online photo and video-sharing social media service and mobile application. It can be considered as one of the biggest social media platforms together with Facebook and Twitter. With more than 80 million users all over the globe, Instagram’s popularity has skyrocketed especially after being part of the Facebook umbrella.
Celebrities and ordinary individuals alike are now present in Instagram, documenting their daily activities by posting photos and videos. The celebrity Instagram accounts with the most followers are Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez.
How does it work?
First, you must download and install the application into your smartphone, then you must make your account and profile. You can then start posting your photos or your short videos, or you can start following people in order to see their Instagram updates.
