Instagram is one of the top-rated social media platforms for mobile users in the global markets. Its services are available for both smartphone as well as desktop users (laptops/ PCs). Instagram has made major improvements to its UI which is now more user-friendly. Besides, Instagram is consistently making upgrades to its platforms and has added several enhancement features in the last few years.
Instagram has become a hub for social media influencers and content creators. But, it is fairly popular amongst the general users as well who use the platform’s services for entertainment as well as private conversations with different contacts.
