Instagram is a social media network that uses photos and videos to interact with others. Users can upload content and share it with their followers or with a select group of friends. They can also view, comment, and like posts shared by others on the platform. Like Facebook, Instagram has a Newsfeed. When you follow someone’s account, their photos and videos will show up in your feed.

Users can also like, comment, and tag one another in posts, as well as send direct messages (DMs).
