Instagram is known for its innovation and right from the start the media-sharing app has evolved to become better just according to the expectations of its users. Instagram has pledged to change users interface and make it as an interactive as possible and today Instagram that we see was not what was planned initially. It was just a photo-sharing platform but soon it evolved into one of the biggest marketing and product placement app that becomes vital for the consumers as well as for the business owners.
Instagram is now ready to unleash a bunch of exciting new features that will not only improve the users' experience but make it one of the most interactive social media platform. Most of these features are completely new and they are yet to be announced, however, looking at the code behind the app might reveal few things.
