About App

Instagram bridges the gap between media and texting. It lets you share your media as posts or stories for people to interact with. This social media app also allows you to send messages and call your mutuals via audio or video call.

Instagram’s explore page recommends countless posts based on the ones you interact with frequently. There are also hundreds of videos on Instagram Reels, ranging from funny skits, educational videos, to relatable content — there’s something for everyone. 

With these, the app keeps you interested for much longer. When you share a post on your story, you can attach songs, links, stickers, and special filters to make it look more appealing. You can also customize your profile by editing your username and bio, changing your display picture, and uploading highlights.
