The Description of Instagram
Instagram is a mobile social networking app owned by Meta. It was officially released in 2012 and this app is completely free for downloading and use. Users can obtain it from Google Play and App Store. Although Instagram shares many similarities to other leading social media platforms such as Facebook, it also has a strong focus on picture and video sharing. Before they start their Insta journey, users need to sign up an Insta account with an email address. This mobile app can also be linked to other social media accounts such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and so on. There are a number of core functions for users to navigate through on their Instagram interface. First, users can post selected photos and videos in the Feed section where their followers can browse, like, comment and repost those feeds. At the same time, users can also do the same to the contents posted by other Instagram users they follow. Feed takes a bottomless browsing mode and users can endlessly check new contents in this section. Then, users can also post time-limited contents in Story section where pictures, texts, music, stickers and GIFs can only be viewed by others within 24 hours from the initial posting time. Users can also pin their favorite contents and add them to their profile so that such contents can be displayed permanently. Besides, users can also post those recently trendy short video clips in Reels (Discovery section). Those video clips are only 15-second long and special effects such as filters, sound and stickers can be added to them. All these functions display posts to the open public. However, if users only want to share certain contents to a small group of people, or keep them private to specific contacts, they can use the Direct section where they can initiate private chats/video calls with the selected users. Photos and videos will also be shared privately under the control of users. Plus, Instagram users can cross post contents from one social media platform onto others.
