The Instagram community has more than doubled over the last two years, with more than 80% of users living outside the US. An infographic produced by the company reveals that, on an average day, the platform sees over 95 million photos and videos shared, and 4.2 billion likes. Instagram also claims that 30 million of the half a billion Instagrammers use their account daily.

Launched in 2010 and bought by Facebook in 2012, Instagram has grown quickly from the start, receiving 25,000 downloads on its first day online.
