The photo-sharing and also later video-sharing, social networks firm's development started when the founders preferred to focus their multi-featured HTML5 check-in project, Burbn, on mobile photography.

The Brazilian entrepreneur and software engineer Krieger understood, Burbn came to be too similar to Foursquare. Burbn was then rotated to become more concentrated on photo-sharing.

The name Instagram is derived from the words "immediate video camera" and also "telegram". Their iphone app was officially released through Apple's Application Store on October 6th, 2010 and also later to Android on April 3rd, 2012 through Google Play (a.k.a. Android Market).

Today it flaunts over 800 million signed up users around the world and greater than 450 million individuals make use of the system every day.

Many experts, myself included, think that it can get to a billion customers later this year. That's more than double the monthly energetic customers of Twitter and over three times as many individuals on Facebook Carrier and also WhatsApp.

More than 80% of its users are located outside of the United States.

Facebook introduced their acquisition of Instagram on April 9th, 2012 for $1 billion in money as well as stock, in addition to 13 staff members.
