Instagram is a photo- and video-sharing social networking service launched by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger in October 2010 and acquired by Facebook (later Meta Platforms) in 2012 for roughly $1 billion, a price that looked large at the time and modest in hindsight. It grew into one of the world's largest social platforms, particularly influential in fashion, celebrity culture and influencer marketing, and its Stories and Reels features have significantly shaped how short-form visual content is consumed online.
