Instagram was founded in October 2010 by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. Within the first year, it gained popularity quickly, reaching 1 million users in December 2010 and 10 million users by September 2011. In April 2012, Facebook acquired Instagram. Since then, Instagram has continued to grow significantly, reaching over 150 million users and launching numerous new features like videos, direct messaging, and embedded photos.
