Instagram is a popular photo-sharing app for smartphones. Compared with other social networks, Instagram is relatively simple—it's focused mainly on sharing photos and videos with your friends.
At this point, you may be thinking: Why do I need a separate app for sharing photos? Couldn't I just post them to Facebook or another social network? One reason for Instagram's popularity is its simplicity. Rather than focusing on a lot of different features, Instagram has one core feature, which makes it especially easy to share photos and see photos from your friends.
Filters are another reason people like using Instagram. Whenever you take a photo in Instagram, you can quickly apply a filter to give the photo a unique look. Filters can help transform an ordinary photo into something worth sharing without much effort. For example, take a look at the embedded Instagram photo below:
Now take a look at the same photo with a few Instagram filters. We applied these filters in just a few seconds, and we didn't need any special or technical knowledge to use them.
As you can see, filters can give you a lot of flexibility with your photos, which also makes them more fun to share with your friends.
Like most other social networking sites, you must be at least 13 years old to create an account on Instagram. While you may occasionally encounter some inappropriate content on Instagram, it does have strict rules banning nudity and other types of offensive posts.
