Its official, Instagram is now bigger than Twitter just nine months after hitting 200 million users, Instagram now says 300 million people use its photo app every month, with 70% of them coming from outside the US. That makes Instagram officially bigger thanTwitter, which had 284 million active users as of six weeks ago.
Instagram’s been going strong for four years now, and despite fears that the acquisition by Facebook would screw it up, there’s now 70 million photos shared each day, and over 30 billion total. Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom says “Over the past four years, what began as two friends with a dream has grown into a global community.”
Inthe same vein of keeping it real, Instagram says it’s now gone from deactivating spammer and fake accounts to full-on deleting them. This means they’ll no longer appear in follower counts, so don’t worry if you see yours slip a little. The bad actors also aren’t being counted in its new 300 million user stat.
Keep your dreams alive.
