Instagram is a fun and quirky way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures. Snap a photo with your mobile phone, and then choose a filter to transform the image into a memory to keep around forever. That’s the basic function of instagram and It allows people to constantly follow their favorite stars in every facet of their day-to-day lives.
That being said, I’m not gonna lie but the other reason people use instagram is to, well, look at hot women. I said it.
