allows its users to upload media that can be

edited through filters and organized using

graphics and geotags. Posts can be shared

Instagram was originally known for only allowing the content of photos and videos to

be in a square content of 640 pixels in order to match the width of the iPhone screen

at the time. Then these restrictions were removed and the pixels were increased to

1080 pixels. A messaging service was added to it, in addition to the ability to add more

than one photo or video in one post, and the messaging

feature, which is adapted from Snapchat, which allows its

users to publish photos and video clips in their stories in a

sequential and sequential manner, and these stories remain

for 24 hours for each story. In January 2019, it was announced

that the Stories feature is used by 500 million users on a daily

basis.
