What Is Instagram?

Instagram is a free social networking service built


around sharing photos and videos. It launched in
October 2010 on iPhone first, and became
available on Android in April 2012. Facebook
purchased the service in April 2012 and has
owned it since.

The best way to understand more about how


Instagram works is to start using it for yourself.
To do this, you'll need to sign up for an account
on Instagram's website, or by downloading
Instagram for Android or Instagram for iPhone.
On profiles, you may also see options to Message
or Email the person, depending on their settings.
Profiles can include a location and link, along
with archived stories.
