Instagram users have shared 16 billion photos, 1 billion likes every day

During today’s Instagram announcement, Kevin Systrom took some time at the beginning of his presentation to provide some statistics about the image (and now video) sharing service. Instagram users have now shared over 16 billion photos. That’s not bad for a company that launched its first app 2 years ago. The service also now has 130 million active monthly users, up fro the 40 million users it had when the company launched its Android app April of last year. Systrom also said that users like 1 billion photos per day, showing just how engaged its users are. Now with a new video sharing feature, Instagram is hoping to draw more users and increase engagement across the board.
