But now, Instagram has scooped up features that originated on Snapchat, including facial filters (masks), live-streaming videos, stories, and the new release of IGTV.ĭespite its many attributes, Instagram's ubiquity truly lies in its capacity to cause interaction among users who are endlessly supplied with heaps of the best videos, pictures, and moments on the internet. Initially, Instagram's main function revolved around embellishing your photos with a series of filters and unique frames like XPro-II, Earlybird, Lo-fi, Sutro, Toaster, Brannan, Inkwell, Walden, Hefe, Nashville, or 1977.

After evolving from a simple photo filter app, it took on many features to add a more social aspect to sharing your photos-quickly emerging as one of the top social networks among young and old alike. Nowadays, the infamous platform is a daily event in millions of people's lives. Not too long ago, Instagram was just your regular über-popular photo app that was only on iOS.
