      It got less popular as an image sharing tool. Some people (myself included) used it for photography still but most people used it as social media and for texting. A lot of people I knew had Instagram accounts with 0 posts but extensive stories and who were part of huge group chats.

        Ha, ok. I don’t use IG much; I follow a few animal-related accounts and use it pretty randomly. My running joke is that the influencers I follow are all raccoons.

        I wasn’t even aware it has a messaging feature before a friend of mine said something like “hey I sent you a message about XYZ on Instagram, didn’t you notice?” and I was like “…Instagram has messaging?” 😅
