Instagram was launched back in 2010 and since then there’s no looking back! It has become our favorite, most-loved social media app overtime where we everything we like under one roof. We can upload stories, post pictures, watch videos on IGTV, stalk or fav celebrities, send direct messages to our friends and followers, promote our brand and there’s so much more that we can name without a rest.
