What we cover

Where the name comes from
This domain was first used in 2013 for Instagram Is, a crowd-sourced short documentary by Paul Tellefsen about the app's early community. Many old links still point here, so we keep a page about the film and its story. The film's own pages are no longer online, and we do not host it.
Independence
Instagramis is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Instagram, Meta Platforms or the makers of the documentary Instagram Is. Instagram is a trademark of Meta Platforms. We do not run awards or polls, and we do not sell followers, likes or account services.
