Instagram surpasses 400 million monthly active users milestone
Facebook-owned photo-sharing service Instagram has announced that it now has over 400 million monthly active users, a milestone it achieved in less than a year after it hit the 300 million mark.
In the announcement, Instagram also revealed that over 75% of its users are from outside of the US, and out of the latest 100 million who joined in the past nine months, over 50% are from Europe and Asia. "The countries that added the most Instagrammers include Brazil, Japan and Indonesia," the company said.

the problem is, the facebook app for android is just so laggy and it's just not nice to use. the instagram app is a lot more user friendly and simple to use.

Impressive. I'm one of the 400 million active users. The irony is that I own both Instagram and Whatsapp but I don't use Facebook. Sorry, Mark Zuckerberg. Your Facebook is not to my liking when Instagram and Whatsapp do exactly the same thing.
