Instagram ranked Twitter users

Confirmed accounts will appear in the coming days.

Nine months ago, Instagram reached 200 million users who are active at least once a month. Today, this number for the first time exceeded 300 million, of which 70% live outside the borders of the United States. This is reported in the service blog. According to Lenta.ru , Russia is in the top five countries in terms of the number of users.



Thus, the photo application now has more users than Twitter (284 million). Stars and companies have the opportunity to get a tick off a verified account on Twitter. Something similar will appear on Instagram too.



It is not surprising that right now they are thinking about such measures: there are really a lot of users, and with it new and new impersonators appear.



The launch of the confirmed account label is scheduled for the coming days. Judging by the information on the support pages , only those who have the probability of having an impersonator are high enough will get the checkmarks: they will be celebrities and brands.

In addition, the Instagram administration said that now, in order to combat spam, the offending accounts will be rubbed forever, they will not simply be deactivated, as they did before. Most users will not notice anything, except that the number of subscribers may be slightly reduced, but they will be notified about this.



To date, 30 billion photos have been “nainstaged”, and every day this number grows to 70 million — not bad for an application that began as a project of two people, and has grown into a global social networking service.







Now Facebook has a huge audience reach: 1.35 billion users of the site, of which half a billion Facebook Messenger users, 600 million from WhatsApp and 300 million from Instagram.
