Description
Instagram is a simple way to capture and share the world’s moments. Follow your friends and family to see what they’re up to, and discover accounts from all over the world that are sharing things you love. Join the community of over 500 million people and express yourself by sharing all the moments of your day––the highlights and everything in between, too.
Use Instagram to:
* Post photos and videos you want to keep on your profile grid. Edit them with filters and creative tools and combine multiple clips into one video.
* Share multiple photos and videos (as many as you want!) to your story. Bring them to life with text and drawing tools. They disappear after 24 hours and won't appear on your profile grid or in feed.
* Go live to connect with your friends and followers right now. When you're done, live stories disappear.
* Send disappearing photos and videos, text messages and posts from your feed to groups and friends with Instagram Direct.
* Watch stories and live videos from the people you follow in a bar at the top of your feed.
* Discover stories, photos and videos you might like and follow new accounts on the Explore tab.
* Enable Handoff to switch between your Apple Watch and your iPhone.

Facebook is ruining Instagram
I've used Instagram for a long time and have been a proponent for it for so long. It's helped my career as a creative and helped me connect with great people. But it's been going downhill lately, and I see many other reviewers agree. When I heard FB bought it, I knew it was inevitable but it seemed ok at first. Now I realize they were just busy preparing ruining it in the background, and now it's all rolling out. Some updates are nice, mostly all the things they "borrowed" from Snapchat. But I'm being bombarded with ads now, constantly being suggested people to follow even tho I've clearly not followed them after the 10th time suggested, the algorithm is so terrible and the lack of chronological sort option shows they don't care about users just advertisers, the whole platform feels less personal bc of all the ads and oversaturation. I notice people engaging less, and I'm the same. It's just turning into a passive pretty picture Facebook, and there's a reason why I don't use Facebook anymore. I'm sad this is happening but I guess it's the natural course for these social tech companies. Give you a cool product then sell your info. I know they need to make money but there are other ways to do it without alienating your base. Sure you have more users but they don't love you anymore. Maybe that's fine as long as the ad money keeps coming in. Thanks for being a great product for many years though, I'll always appreciate original Instagram for that.
SMH!!!!!!
I've had Instagram for 5 years now and I've never been this disappointed. The latest update has given me more glitches than ever before let alone the fact that all these new features turning into Facebook/snapchat and not having chronological order newsfeed seem to be drawing a lot of bad reviews. I've read bad reviews about getting no help when writing in about a problem so I have to wait for this one to fix itself and I won't be using this app until then. The option to post multiple pictures in one post stopped working on my main account with this last update but still works on my second account. I've done EVERYTHING I can think of and that I've researched to try and fix it and nothing. This is a joke don't come out with new features if they are just going to glitch every time an update comes out. I'd go as far as saying it's false advertisement but what is really false advertisement is the title "Instagram" when people you are following post pictures that don't "instantly" pop up in you're timeline. Opening the app to see a post from over a week ago doesn't sound like "Instagram" at all. Hopefully something gets fixed about this since you're already trying to fix something that's not broken... I'll miss the old Instagram 😐
Love it...But also
Update: same. TL;DR: Awesome but also bring back rich notifications.

Instagram is splendid. I am a photographer starting out and the community of photographers on Instagram is spectacular. It does an even better job of curating a variety of excellent photography than some of those top Super Cool Photography Apps for People Who Like Subscriptions for Exposure. My only wish is that they'd bring back the super rich notifications wherein one could view the full photo of someone they're following or a photo that has been liked. It was there for like two seconds and I want it back. Sometimes I just want to see real quick what was liked or what the person posted so I can like it on-the-go without waiting for stuff to load. Trust me, I will still open the app later. Someone invested enough to turn on notifications for specific profiles is invested enough to still open up and engage in the apps (subtext: so your ads won't go unseen, I swear).
Thanks!
