It’s hard to believe but today marks Instagram’s fifth birthday.
For many of us, it’s become so embedded in our every day lives that it’s easy to forget we once lived in a time without Mayfair, Sierra, and Nashville (which no one has used since 2011).
In the past five years, more than 40 billion photos have been shared, and the community has attracted more than 400 million users.
Think of all the photos your grandparents took in their lifetime and consider that you’ve probably taken more bathroom selfies in the past 12 months.
