Instagram is one of the most recognized and used social networking platforms in the current day world. Instagram, just to mention, boasts of having over two hundred million users who are normally active throughout. As if that is not enough, daily, an estimated sixty million photos are uploaded to their Instagram accounts. Sixty million photos being uploaded daily!
