Almost half of Instagram users are Android
That the application of Instagram filters continues to be one of the photography tools plus wanted and used is nothing new. What is surprising is the data that has just been made public and reveals that half of active users who use Instagram to portray their environment are, in turn, users of terminals with operating system AndroidSomething that draws attention if we put these data in context.
And keep in mind that Instagram for the operating system Android has only been available for a year on this platform Until then, it had already achieved great success on iPhone for two years To this we must add that, at the beginning of this year 2013, the application already had 100 million active users per month, assuming then, according to the data of Instagram, that they are close to50 million of those users those who use the filter application from a mobile Android
An exponential growth that has helped this tool to achieve even more fame and recognition Thus, from the Instagram blog, they recognize the work of many users of this application in Instagramduring events such as Christmas in Brazil or a big electrical storm in Malaysia, from where a good number of snapshots were collected that traveled through this photography social network Therefore, it is clear that the idea of expanding to a new operating system has only brought good things to this tool.
However, for now it seems that this will not happen with other platforms like Windows Phone or BlackBerry 10, where the application is being awaited like wildfire by its users. And it is that the differences between Android and these other two platforms are very notable, even a year ago when Instagram reached the operating system of Google So much so that, in less than a day, the application was downloaded more million times after launch on AndroidA fact that, although it does not mean having that final number of active users, does mean a large volume of potential long-term users. Something that might not occur on other mobile platforms.
What is clear is that Instagram is increasingly visible and well-known, even appearing on the front page of the prestigious North American newspaper The New York Times, managing to be the first image edited with an application that appears in this mediumAll this bearing in mind that it is not only an editing tool with filters and effects, but also that it is a complete social network where you can meet other users and see their snapshots and screenshots
In short, a tool that has used the platform Android to get a big push , at least as far as the number of users is concerned, and for which they say they continue working in order to improve operation and expand its possibilities , always thinking of the user.For now, Instagram is fully downloadable free via Google Play if you are a user of a Android device, or through App Store for iOS
