Instagram.. The Pro's and Con's



Instagram is a worldwide app, It Is used for sharing photos and short videos to followers all around the world. Instagram currently has over 100 million active users, it has in itself turned itself into a social networking website rather than just a photo sharing application. there are lots of pro's and con's to using 'IG'. 

One of the pro's is that you can share photos with friends and family wherever they are around the world, it gives you the opportunity to tag them in the photos also. whilst this is a benefit, there is also the opportunity for people that you don't know to view your photos, this can obviously cause a security concern.
Another pro to instagram is that you can see photos that celebrities are putting on, this is a massive benefit if you are a big fan of someone!! On the downside, you will see a lot of abusive comments towards your 'HERO'. 
The new messaging option that it gives you can also pose as a security threat, especially to the younger audience as anyone in the world can send you a private message as well as a private photos, this is not ideal. 
All in all, if used in the right manner, and with a careful mind instagram can be a useful tool for showing your friends and family cool photos and videos.
