Instagram is a photo and video-sharing social networking service owned by Meta the company behind Facebook. It was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, and launched in October 2010 exclusively on iOS. A version for Android devices was released a year and half later, in April 2012, followed by a feature-limited website interface in November 2012.

In 2012 Facebook acquired Instagram for $1 billion and it became one of the top social media companies in the last few years.
