Instagram is the most popular iPhone and Android application in the world to publish photos on the internet, initially born with the function of applying vintage effects to photos taken with your smartphone, which then became part of Facebook and a vehicle for the diffusion of photos for influencers and VIPs . Basically it is a photographic Twitter where anyone can post the photo of the moment and look at the photos of others, all via smartphone.
The photos published on Instagram are visible, if kept public and not private by those who upload them online, by all those who have the application.
The Instagram.com site allows you to watch the photos uploaded to the social network from your account, but not to download the photos to your computer at their original resolution.
There are many sites to see unofficial Instagram that work without re-registration, to look at everyone's photos via the web and, if desired, to download them to the computer .
