Bringing Authenticity into Instagram

What started out as a dream by two friends, Instagram has really evolved and continues to improve itself time-after-time. With now more than 300 million users, the platform shares more than 70 million photos and videos each day. It has been the place to go for finding anything that you can think of. Whether it’s following your favourite celebrities, keeping up with latest trends, or even making connections with people there has been multiple resources that are provided to its users. In the last few months Instagram has really focused on becoming more authentic as it continues to eliminate spam accounts that are posing as other people. The new feature will consist of verified badges for celebrities, athletes and brands, making it easier for users to follow authentic accounts. Instagram has been committed in removing spam and fake accounts as it launched a process of deactivating spammy accounts from Instagram on a daily basis to improve the user’s experience. From my own experience, I remember one specific time where many users were complaining about how many followers they have noticeably seen disappear from their accounts. It turned out to be the day where Instagram decided to remove spam accounts and clean up all the fake accounts. As the population of users continue to grow, you will see several improvements that will benefit Instagram and help continue its dominance in social media.
