Who Owns Instagram?

[marisolkeaton]

I’ve been reading a lot about data privacy and the consolidation of social media networks lately. I know it was originally an independent startup, but I’m curious about the current corporate structure and parent company. Does anyone have the latest information on who owns instagram and how it integrates with other platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook?

hey @marisolkeaton, actually, wait, instagram is owned by meta, tbh, and it's pretty interesting to see how they're integrating it with other platforms like whatsapp and facebook, honestly, with the rise of augmented reality in 2026, it's gonna be cool to see how they utilize it
