Today we’re proud to announce our community has grown to more than 600 million Instagrammers. And the last 100 million of you joined in just the past six months.

A lot has changed this year, but the Instagram community and the diversity of expression it provides has remained consistent. Now people and businesses have more ways to share than ever before with Instagram Stories, live video and disappearing photos and videos in Direct. Additionally, with updated safety tools that give you more control over comments and other parts of your experience, we’re working to make Instagram safer than ever for connection and self-expression.

From all of us at Instagram, thank you for being you. We can’t wait to see what your business will share next.
