I only use Instagram for my personal life, because I have family across the world it's so easy to share my holiday pics with everyone. I also love how quick and easy it is for me to see what my friends and family are posting. > > **Cons**: Hard to think of anything other than the App going down a couple of times over the last few years, like any other App. Reinstalling the App worked for me. > > Great for keeping in touch with friends, family, businesses and my community. I love looking at photos and videos, it's an enjoyable and quick way to stay connected. I have several family members that are small business owners that use Instagram and I am able to keep current with everything that is going on and also share my life (mainly travel and family) with them. In our busy lives it's great to have an app that we can all share together on. ----- ### "More than a social media app—it became the beginning of my love story" — 5.0/5 > **Manpreet** | *28 June 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Instagram is how it helps people stay connected no matter where they are in the world. It played a very special role in my relationship with my husband and has helped me reconnect with family and old friends. I also appreciate the calling feature, messaging, content sharing, and privacy controls. The block feature gives me confidence that I can control who interacts with me, and the privacy settings make me feel safe while using the platform. > > **Cons**: The biggest drawback for me is that Instagram can be very addictive. There were times when I opened the app just to reply to a message or watch one reel, but I would end up scrolling for much longer than I intended. I realized it was affecting my screen time, so I decided to take control. I set a daily time limit on Instagram and even asked my husband to keep the password for my app lock so I couldn't easily ignore the limit. That simple step helped me build healthier habits while still enjoying everything I love about Instagram. Now I can stay connected with family and friends, enjoy content in moderation, and avoid spending unnecessary time on the app. > > Instagram is much more than a social media platform for me—it is where my love story began. I was in India and my husband was in Canada, and Instagram was the main way we communicated in the early days. Before we felt comfortable exchanging phone numbers, we spent hours chatting on Instagram, sharing quotes, songs, reels, and videos that reminded us of each other. We also used Instagram calls to stay connected despite the distance. Looking back, Instagram truly became the bridge that brought us together and eventually led to our marriage. Beyond my relationship, Instagram has also helped me reconnect with people I had lost touch with over the years. I found school friends, reconnected with an extended cousin after many years, and even rebuilt my contact list after I lost my phone because many of my friends were still connected with me on Instagram. It has also become a source of entertainment and inspiration, and I enjoy discovering new ideas and relaxing by watching reels in my free time. ----- ### "A Powerful Platform for Visual Brand Building" — 5.0/5 > **Samuel** | *18 August 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Instagram is one of the best platforms for building brand awareness through visual content. It gives us multiple ways to reach an audience through Reels, Stories, posts, and direct messages while keeping everything connected to a strong visual brand presence. > > **Cons**: Organic reach can be inconsistent and heavily dependent on the algorithm. It can also require a significant amount of content production to maintain visibility, especially as the platform continues to prioritize short-form video. > > Overall, Instagram has been an important part of our social media and marketing strategy. We use it to showcase our brand, publish visual content, engage with our audience, and generate awareness around our products and services. The platform is easy to use and offers strong content formats, although getting consistent organic results requires regular posting and experimentation. ----- ### "Happy with Instagram\!" — 3.0/5 > **Tyra** | *21 July 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love that Instagram helps us to better connect with our community, customers, and the rest of the world. It's so easy to post and manage content. We love engaging with our followers and keeping up with them through our user profile. > > **Cons**: There's nothing that we genuinely dislike about Instagram. We've had great experiences with it. We will continue to use it\! ----- ### "Instagram is Must Have for Marketing" — 5.0/5 > **Louise** | *6 July 2026* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Instagram is easy to use and provides a great platform for sharing photos, videos, and updates. It helps businesses connect with their audience, promote products and services, and engage with customers through stories, reels, and direct messaging. > > **Cons**: Instagram's algorithm can make it difficult for posts to reach followers consistently without paid promotion. Frequent updates to features and the platform can also make it challenging to keep up with changes. > > Overall, Instagram has been a valuable platform for building brand awareness for our practice, engaging with customers, and sharing visual content. It offers a wide range of marketing tools and features that helps our business connect with our audience. Although organic reach can be inconsistent, it remains an effective and user-friendly social media platform. ----- Page: 1 / 210\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/210721/instagram?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/210721/instagram) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
