Instagram is very easy to operate as its interface is understandable and attractive. Instagram's interface shows the posts based on your liking and desire. Instagram designs are based on the posts you have liked, interacted with, saved, and commented on. 

Most people don't notice this thing, but Instagram designs the UI based (User Interface Design) on their likings and needs. This is a very good feature of Instagram which helps people to discover what they like very easily. They don't have to surf the internet anymore as they can see most of the things on their search feed. 

2. Instagram Can Make Anyone Popular

Instagram is the only platform where people can gain popularity in a useful way. It provides users with an opportunity to be popular within hours and they can gain instant success as well. Instagram is an amazing platform where people can showcase their talents and get famous.

It is always mentioned that Instagram can either create your image or destroy it. So to maintain a decent profile, Instagram has a wide variety of filters that are free to use by people.

People who are new to Instagram and are skeptical about whether to post photos or videos can use filters to enhance the quality of their pictures. You can even use other apps to add in-built filters to your Instagram app. Editing and refining photos can be time-consuming and hard for amateur people, so filters available on Instagram can help to resolve that issue.

People use hashtags to reach a wide range of audiences. Instagram is the app that started the trend of using hashtags. There is no doubt that people find it difficult to read long captions. So to resolve that issue, hashtags were introduced and long captions were reduced to one-liners with hashtags after that. After a while hashtags appeared without gaps between the words to create more impact on the viewers. 

5. Instagram Is Mobile-Friendly

Usually, many apps take a lot of time to open or load on mobile phones. But Instagram is mobile-friendly and is very convenient to use. People prefer surfing Instagram on mobile phones rather than opening a laptop or tablet.
