You must have an Instagram account that made you look into this blog post, or I might take the credits that my catchy title just made you hook in my article. Well, this can’t be denied that Instagram is the most widely used social networking site. Looking into the brief history, Instagram was launched on October 6, 2010. On the very first day, it grabbed the attention of approximately 25,000 users. Surprisingly, in the contemporary world, the numbers have increased to a considerable amount. Let’s move on to some very amazing fun facts about a gram.
Age of Instagram:
The word age might be amusing for you, but in reality, your gram has just grown up. It’s been 12 years since its formation. It’s 12 years old now. Its name was “Codename,” but it changed just before its launch. It’s usually said that this word has come from the pounding of the word “telegram”.
Distraction:
This platform works as a source of distraction for the majority of us. Usually, we are just fed-up and tired of our daily routines and start scrolling the news feed.
The fun fact lies here: the scrolling then never stops. I hope you agree with me because it happens most of the time when the scrolling speed reaches the level of infinity. But there’s nothing to be proud of, we should use it properly. We can say that distraction sparks joy in a person.
Current Trends:
Instagram is a primary source for letting us know the current trends in fashion, makeup, traveling, etc. We see several influencers and bloggers who are working and posting according to the specific domain they are working in. Following them gives you exposure to trendy things, these trends are not only limited to the fashion periphery but also include news, social issues, and societal evils.
We usually see that most of the social issues become the nation’s voice through social media usage because most of the time, many news content is not given mandatory coverage and hype on mainstream media due to their reasons.

Emoji:
It is said that the heart emoji is the most used emoji on Instagram. Heart is an ideogram used to share immense care and love for other people. Alright, but doesn’t it feel somehow contradicting? No offense, but usually, we see that even if it’s not meant from the core of the heart, we still send the heart emoji.
