41 According to Wikipedia, Instagram is an online mobile photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking, so we get another medium for sharing our interests besides Twitter, Facebook and Path. Since it was launched on October 2010, Instagram has already had 300 million users on 2014, surpassing Twitter, its competitor. Only 30% of its users are from USA, where its origin, while the rest 70% of its users are from outside of USA. It shows that most of Instagram users are non-American and live in other countries, including Indonesia. Therefore, knowing what Instagram users do while using the app can give some insights about their behavior. JAKPAT conducted a survey concerning Instagram user behavior. This survey is followed by 530 Indonesian respondents installing and using Instagram in their smartphones. We found some facts concerning their behavior towards Instagram app. More than 50% of respondents have had Instagram app since 1-2 years ago.
