Instagram, the popular photo-sharing and social media platform, was invented in the United States.
The company was founded in 2010 by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger in San Francisco, California. They launched the app in October 2010, and it quickly gained popularity, becoming one of the most widely used social media platforms globally.
Instagram was acquired by Facebook (now Meta) in 2012 for a staggering $1 billion. Since then, it has continued to evolve and expand its features, adding video sharing, direct messaging, and shopping capabilities.
The app's success can be attributed to its user-friendly interface, its focus on visual content, and its ability to connect people from all over the world.
