In the present day, Instagram is one of the most popular social media networks in the world with more than 700 million monthly active users.
What is Instagram Insights and how can it benefit your brand?
Instagram Insights is a tool that can help you track your followers and their behaviors. It can also be used to see how they react to certain posts or content.
