How does Instagram make money? We clarify

Instagram is among one of the most popular online services where you can share and edit images and videos. The free app is available for both Android and iOS. But how is Instagram actually financed and what does Instagram use to earn money?

How Instagram makes money

Over the last few years, there have been very significant changes to Instagram. At the time of its development, Instagram was able to make its money solely from investors. But over time, Instagram gained more and more users, so the online service now makes money from ads that are displayed as posts in your feed or between Instagram stories. How much money that is, however, remains unknown. Various analysts estimate the annual turnover at around five billion US dollars.
