Instagram is a social media app that lets you share and discover photos and videos, chat with other users, livestream and so much more.
The genius of Instagram is really in how easy it is to use! Want to capture professional-quality pictures and tell beautiful stories that reel people in? You can do that, and you don’t need any technical expertise to do it! Want to share your pictures and interesting stuff you discover on IG to other social media networks? You can do that too!
You can tag friends in your posts just like you already do in Instagram, and if you turn on geotagging support you’ll be able to share your location with your followers so they can see where you got that beautiful shot of the Grand Canyon.
The best thing about Instagram though is its photo editor. You’ll be able to do everything you already do with basic editors like crop, zoom in, adjust contrast and things like that, but you’ll also have access to hundreds of filters, effects and other settings that transform boring selfies into beautiful works of art.
Instagram also sets itself apart with Instagram Live, its unique livestreaming service. Unlike Facebook Live, users will have to use the actual Instagram app (not the website in a browser window!) to watch livestreaming videos. Streamers have more control and can boot people from viewing and/or commenting on their stream, something you can’t do on many of the other livestreaming apps.
