Instagram is a video and photo sharing technology, and network application whose owners are Facebook, Inc. Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger coded and started this application as a cooperation Instagram, in San Francisco, who launched it on October 6, 2010. This application has so far won several awards and among a few, the Shortly Award for Apps, the Teen Choice Award for Choice Social Network and many more.
Going deeper into the history of Instagram, eight years ago, Systrom, one of Instagram’s developers is a man who worked in marketing yet studied evening engineering lessons so he could learn to code. After several months of practice, he created a prototype application of a nasty idea he called Burbn, a location app that helped people check where they are on the mobile web an application.
Krieger then joined him while they transformed Systrom’s idea into something more reasonable. After several weeks of experimentation testing of his prototype, the two geniuses, Systrom and Krieger released the application, not Burn This time, but Instagram. The two claim Burbn was a false start but given that two heads are better, they could produce such great achievements we are using today.
Krieger says that, although they took just 8 weeks to build Instagram, it was a project that had taken him several years before he started the coding classes. Instagram as a cooperation has a username known @Instagram and is the most-followed user on Instagram with over 256 million followers to date
Talking about Instagram net-weight, Kevin Systrom the CEO has a net worth of an estimate of $1.67 billion but Zuckerberg was so lucky to gain Instagram at just $1 billion while it only had 30 million users.
However, after its launch in 2010, Instagram rapidly grew popular, and in just two months, it had registered one million users, ten million in one year, and over eight hundred million in 2017.

Creating multiple accounts with Instagram
I have seen several questions on Facebook, How do you create an account with Instagram, How to manage your account? And the likes. While it is so easy to create an account, It’s good to note that the limited number of accounts one can create with Instagram is not two as many of you thought. Depending on how convenient you are with multiple accounts, you can as well create and manage many at once. You can manage a maximum of five accounts simultaneously, but a different email for each of those accounts.
Another good thing about Instagram like Facebook, you may switch between multiple accounts without logging out and logging in again. For multiple account use, Go to your profile and tap the setting button on the top right. Scroll down and click Add Account.
However, if you are using multiple accounts, the link to connect all your accounts will not be visible, if you have a personal account and at the same time running a fan page, then people won’t know that these accounts are connected unless you post a link to visibly show that.
