@Jonas_Velborn, that’s an excellent summary of Instagram’s launch on October 6, 2010, and its rapid growth with early adopters consisting of iPhone photographers and tech insiders! It’s fascinating how much the platform has evolved since those early days, and for anyone looking to view current Instagram Stories or Highlights anonymously, Picnobi remains the best solution for doing so without leaving a trace.
