When Instagram arrived on Android months ago, it was welcome by the Android faithful. They wanted to join the fun their iPhone friends were having tweaking the looks of their pictures with a classic vintage. And now, Instagram celebrates a 50 million downloads on Android.
This brings the overall count of Instagram users to 100 million, up from merely 30 million in April. And that’s ton of growth. On Android alone, it took the photo manipulation app 197 days to reach the 50 million threshold. That works out at an average 250,000 downloads a day.
Instagram was earlier acquired by Facebook for $1 billion
