Instagram celebrates its 10th

birthday this year and during

its short life has grown to

become the world’s biggest

photography website by far. It

was the fourth most downloaded phone app

of the past decade and last May added its one

billionth user. Nearly 100 million new photos

are added daily, and they aren’t all celebrity

selfiesandpicturesofpeople’sdinner.Pretty

much every well-known photographer you

can think of is on there – even the dead ones.

If you’re not yet on Instagram yourself, now

is the perfect opportunity to get yourself set

up, and this week we offer a few tips for how

to get the best out of it. Over the coming

weeks we’ll be presenting more ideas for

things to do at home. If you subscribe you’ll

get AP delivered and save money too. Find
