Instagram, often known as Insta or IG, is an American online photo and video sharing social networking service, which allows users to take photo and videos. It also allows their addition of digital filters and sharing to followers, from where they can be further shared to other social networking services, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Flickr.[6]
History
[change | change source]2015
[change | change source]In 2015,[7] Instagram confined photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and polaroid images.
2016
[change | change source]In August 2016, Instagram launched Instagram Stories, a feature that allows users to take photos by adding effects and layers to be placed into user stories. Photos uploaded to user stories will expire after 24 hours. This was different than the 4:3 aspect ratio typically used by digital cameras. Users were able to share very short videos.[8]
2017
[change | change source]In 2017, the length limit was raised to ten minutes. Instagram was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. When Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger talked to famous photographer Peter Parker, a photographer for the Daily Bugle, Systrom and Krieger were inspired to make an app just for photography. It was released on October 6, 2010.[source?]
