About Instagram
Instagram is a social media app which lets users share photos and videos from their smartphones, as well as like and comment on other users’ posts, send private messages, search for relevant content, and more. Users can view their feed from any web browser, but can only upload photos and videos through the native apps for iOS and Android.
Instagram includes a range of filters and editing tools which users can apply to their photos and videos before posting. The exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, fade, and other aspects of photos can be adjusted, and users can also add text and drawings on top of their photos and videos. Up to 10 photos and videos can be published in a single post, and filters can be applied in bulk across a whole post, or to individual images. Videos can be shared with or without audio, and users can control which frame of a video is presented as the cover image. Captions, hashtags, and locations can be added to posts, enabling users to search for relevant content.
The Stories feature allows users to post photos and videos which are displayed at the top of their followers’ feeds, and disappear after 24 hours. Users can send direct messages to each other, containing their own photos or videos, text, posts from their feed, other users’ profiles, hashtags, and locations. Disappearing photos and videos can also be sent directly to other users, which can be viewed twice before they disappear.

Well, after using Instagram for 2 years I think it's good for entertainment and marketing and make you contact your friends easily and message them, Instagram also gives you the possibility to meet new friends too
Pros
This app is easy to use like, it's simple and fast, it's easy to post something or share something with your friend, you can follow people that you know personally or anyone else, and it's also easy to start a conversation on it with some cause there is a place where you can send messages on it, the recommended page is good and clear from the unacceptable content.
Cons
Actually, there are some features that should be on Instagram like the availability of making long videos on Instagram like 3 minutes or 5 minutes videos, and adding the option of reacting to posts with funny reactions and angry reactions just like Facebook and other social media platform does.

Overall I've spent 10s of thousands of dollars to advertise to my target market because organic content has very little reach to my followers
Pros
I like that I can use this platform as a way to share valuable and entertaining videos and images to my target my customers who are using the app for consuming content related to the hunting industry.
Cons
I don't like how it doesn't show as much of my organic content to my followers like it used to. It's now a pay to play platform
