Instagram was officially launched on October 6, 2010. It was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger and quickly gained popularity, reaching 25,000 users on the first day and one million users within three months. Originally, it was developed as a photo-sharing app for iOS with a focus on simplicity and image filters. Instagram was later acquired by Facebook in April 2012 for $1 billion.
