Instagram is one of the most popular social media apps in the world that allows users to share photos and videos for free. Available on iOS or Android devices, Instagram users simply upload photos and videos to the app and share it with their followers or with a selected group of people.
After uploading a photo or video to Instagram, the visual content platform enables users to choose filters and edit an image before publishing.
While users can post videos and photos they want to appear permanently on their profiles, they can also make posts that disappear after 24 hours using the Instagram Stories feature. Users can add different types of stickers to their Instagram stories including hashtag, location, GIF, countdown, poll, time, temperature, @mention, question, chat, music, and quiz.
In order to keep stories more than 24 hours, users can also use Stories Highlights, that appears on a user’s profile at the top. If you want to add an old story that you previously shared, you can find it in the stories archive and reshare it.
If you want to make a story only visible to you, you can choose the related privacy option before sharing a story. There is also a close friend list option in Instagram that you can create to share your stories only with. To add people to the list, you can tap on the “Close Friends” in the side menu.
Hashtags are frequently used by brands, influencers and individuals to increase the reach of a post on Instagram, especially to increase the number of followers and interactions. There are a lot of popular hashtags preferred by users to increase reach including #photooftheday, #instagood, #love, and #happy. #tbt is one of the most popular hashtags that means Throwback Thursday. It is attributed to any nostalgia-including photo that reflects a positive moment from the past.
