Buffer - Instagram turns 10 🎂
Hi there,
Instagram turned 10 years old this week! 🎉 Ten years ago, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger released Instagram into the world. It was unlike any other social media app that had been released before, with its focus on visual content and photos. What's your favorite Instagram memory? We'd love to hear from you, so feel free to reply to this email or share your favorite memory with us on Twitter.
To celebrate, we're keeping this newsletter issue solely focused on Instagram news, updates, tips, and history. Let’s get started! 👇
In today’s newsletter:

Instagram's secret birthday surprise: what is it and how to find it
This week marked Instagram's tenth birthday and, to celebrate, Instagram added a hidden birthday surprise that lets you switch up the icon for the app to retro and colorful app icons.
Changing up the icon is relatively easy. Just make sure you have the latest version of the Instagram app, and head over to your account Settings. Once you're there, pull down on your screen until the emojis pop up, and then you should be taken to the icon options menu — as shown in this video.
A timeline: celebrating 10 years of Instagram
From adding hashtags to launching Reels, Instagram has come a long way since it first launched 10 years ago. Let's look back in time and see how far the app has come from October 6, 2010.
