Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced that Instagram has grown to 3 billion monthly active users, marking a major milestone for the photo and video-sharing platform.
The growth underscores Instagram’s global reach and its continued appeal among younger audiences, creators, and businesses. Zuckerberg highlighted that new features such as short-form videos, shopping tools, and AI-driven recommendations have helped boost engagement across the platform.
Industry analysts say the achievement reinforces Instagram’s position as one of the most widely used social media platforms worldwide, further solidifying Meta’s dominance in the digital advertising market. The expansion also signals strong competition with rivals such as TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube.
Meta executives noted that efforts to improve user experience, strengthen safety tools, and expand monetization options for creators are central to sustaining Instagram’s momentum. With 3 billion users, the platform remains a critical driver of Meta’s overall business strategy and long-term growth.
