Instagram is the favorite app for gossip world. It’s okay, admit it, we all want to know about other people’s lives and, unless it’s an obsession, it’s not bad. What’s more, sometimes we even get to see the lives of certain celebrities that, under normal circumstances, we would be embarrassed to recognize. If your lip has arched with a knowing smile, I recommend that you delete the search history of your Instagram account. We don’t want someone to be able to see it and judge you for it.
In addition to playing old wives’ tales, Instagram is used for many other things. It’s a great showcase to the world for brands and entrepreneurs who have seen in this social network one of the main ways of attracting customers. In fact, since Instagram was born until now it has changed a lot. It is no longer something designed only for photographers nor is it a static album of images. Instagram is pure and simple activity: comments, stories that change every second, reels (if you don’t already know) and constant interaction.
So, whatever group you are: old lady with the curtain or entrepreneur looking for clients, it is important that you know how to search on instagram and what information you can find through the application’s search engine.
