Instagram has emerged not only as one of the most popular online destinations for sharing photos with friends, family and the world, but also providing a full-fledged social media experience with private chats — direct messages — and more.
The Facebook-owned company has rolled out Stories, the ability to create live videos and more, making the platform more interactive.
