However, this number are not accurate as it counts multiple app installs. So if I were unistall my Instagram app and reinstall it, it would be counted as a new install. Still it is a nice milestone that only a few apps have managed to reach.

Consider this, Android itself had 1.4 billion users as of Sept. 2015. Also Instagram announced back in July that it has more than 500 million monthly active users, 300 million active users daily.

The Instagram app has experienced a lot of of improvements this year. In May, it got a new logo and was redesigned to put more emphasis on the photos and videos than the app itself.
In June, Instagram rolled out a new, algorithmic timeline, which shows posts based on users interest instead of the time they were posted.
And in August, it launched Instagram Stories, a new, Snapchat-like feature that allows users to create temporary slideshows which disappear in a day.

To end this writeup, let us all welcome Instagram to the one billion installs club.
