I organize a puppy meetup. Right now via a group SMS. Sub-optimal. Sharing event pics is flakey (mix of android and ios). The responses (LOL, hearts, etc) become their own text messages (?!). Etc.

Since some of us have Instagram, I thought to try it, if only to share pics. Sign up was brutal. I can't figure out how to use my phone account on my desktop. Sharing existing pics sucks. Taking pics with Instagram sucks.

I can't even figure out how to simply browse a friend's feed.

I legit can't imagine why anyone uses Instagram, for any purpose.

Cute babes. It's like the point of contact now for them because none of them want to be on facebook with their mom commenting dumb shit on their page.

if it wasn't for them i would so delete this shit

It's iMessage garbage spewing into SMS. On iOS you'll get a little heart or some other animation, to "support" this with SMS they give the reaction and the whole quote.

Most people don’t really use Instagram, it’s more like Instagram uses them.
