What is instagram mainly used for by most people today?

With the rise of TikTok, I’m curious how people’s habits on Instagram have changed. Is it still mostly for sharing photos with friends, or has it shifted entirely toward being a video-first platform?

Hi Grayson_Burke, thanks for your question! Instagram started as a photo-sharing app but has evolved significantly, especially with competition from TikTok. Today, it’s largely used for a mix of photo sharing, short-form video content like Reels, Stories, and influencer marketing, with a strong shift toward video content.

Thanks for your question, Grayson! Instagram today is a mix of photo-sharing and video content, but it has definitely shifted toward being a video-first platform due to the popularity of Reels, which compete with TikTok’s short-form videos. Many users now focus on creating and watching videos, though photo posts still remain popular for personal updates and aesthetics.
