10 Best Apps like Instagram
Well, there are more such media sharing apps which has a lot to tell you only if you are gonna give them a try. So, it is the time to acquire all the juicy gossips from around the web through these apps and make your weekend even more lit with them.
1. Flickr
I am sure Flickr would have already left its impact on you in form of operating as a website. But now it is the time to access it in form of a much simpler and easier platform which is the mobile application of it. From uploading your photos to accessing the ones posted by others, it is quite simple on Flickr.
This is why I decided to list it in the category of apps like Instagram on top. Flickr even has additional feature of editing your photos on this platform just like Instagram offers.
Flickr provides you 1000GB of space to save and share your pictures and I think it is perfectly enough even if you are world famous celebrity. From photos to videos, you can easily store them in Flickr camera roll.
The filers associated with Flickr makes it even more fun for the users like cropping, editing, filters and many more. You can join millions of groups on this app and there are like billions of photos posted on this platform every day so you have the perfect place to explore the best media from around the world.
2. Snapchat
Snapchat is hands down one of the best apps for android as well as for iOS users too and it is even my favorite too. The app has so much to offer that it literally puts other apps to shame. Snapchat is a popular IM and media sharing app which is mostly preferred by those people who are concerned about their privacy.
What makes Snapchat the safest app in the world? Well, this is the fact that all the texts and media files shared by Snapchat are auto-destructible.
This means once the user has seen it, they automatically gets vanished which means people are left with no trace to pin point you or screenshot your conversation after some time. You can also put the videos or photos as your story too just like Instagram.
There are various features of Snapchat which makes it quite similar to the other apps like Instagram. You also get cool filters to apply while clicking pictures along with editing support too. As a whole, Snapchat is really a wonderful media sharing app.
3. Imgur
Be it cute images or fun games, you get to it all on Imgur. Earlier people were crazy about surfing all the time on its website and once the app got launched it made the process even simpler for the users. This is quite a fun option to be included in the list of apps like Instagram.
Just like Instagram the prime function of Imgur is to share media files to your friends and people added to your Imgur account.
Rather than videos, Imgur focuses on GIFs more as they are short and fun. You can even go for various categories of images and GIFs like hiking, cosplay, cats, anime, wtf moments etc. The range is so wide and rich that you will get tired with scrolling.
There are like millions of people active on Imgur in fact at some point you are going to find it more popular than Instagram itself. Be it any meme or crazy/viral image you are going to find it here before anywhere else. This makes it a fun and really popular photo sharing platform.
4. We Heart It
We Heart It is counted as one of the most productive photo sharing apps like Instagram and the reasons you will get to know when you will try it out. The app is way more organized than any other apps in this list and this is why I really liked this one.
We Heart It or WHI is a very prominent source of reaching to some amazing photos in the categories like travel, food, makeup, fitness, art, fashion, quotes and many more.
And the images found here are actually quite professional ones so if you are running a blog then you must install this app for perfect pictures. The process offered on this app is simple, you need to heart (like) the picture, collect it in your canvas and simply share what you love.
Although the prime features of this app are free but there are still some in-app purchases available for the upgrades in it. However, I think the app is worth including in the list of apps like Instagram and is quite versatile in its content of photos as well as videos.
5. Muzy
Muzy is a wonderful as well as free to use app whose main and single most purpose is to help people share images and collages on this platform. The app has more than 20 million registered users on it and this is indeed one of the most creative platform and apps like Instagram.
What I liked the most about Muzy is its interconnecting feature. This means that you can directly share photos from Muzy to other platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc.
You have the feature to not only share your media files but to also edit them and make them turn into something more creative. And apart from media sharing you can also post text status here too. This means the app is quite versatile than Instagram itself.
The great thing is that Muzy is absolutely free to use and does not contain any in-app purchases too. In fact, it provides you unlimited space to store your photos too. However, like Instagram it does not allow you to share videos and is restricted to sharing photos and collages only.
6. Flipagram
Flipagram is one of the most unique Instagram like apps and the reason is that it is entirely dedicated to videos only. This is the simplest video making app through which you just need to put together your stuff and through the tools provided, you can literally turn them into a neatly made video.
Share what you truly like and Flipagram is one app which can turn even the dull moments into fun with its filters and music options.
As Instagram is entirely dedicated to mostly images, I think people should really become a bit of creative by using Flipagram. They have millions of tracks in their library along with wonderful effects to help the users out here.
Well, of course, there are some in-app purchases for better features but Flipagram has a lot to offer in the free version itself. So, once you have created videos through it, you have the option to share them directly to same or other platforms making it one of the most advanced apps like Instagram.
7. Path
I found to Path to be more like Facebook rather than other apps like Instagram but there are some recurring features which makes it perfect for this category. This is a simple and quite an interesting platform to capture and share whatever you want on it.
Now you can easily share the best moments of your life with a little touch ups and editing to make the raw things better than before.
In fact, media sharing is not the only thing which you can get done with the help of Path. There is even more which you can do through it. You can post about your check-ins in hotels, restaurants and other places through it too. And you can also share movies, songs, TV shows you are watching right now.
Your privacy is also maintained well on this app too. You can decide that who are going to watch your updates and who not by keeping your profile private. Although free as basic, Path also has some in-app purchases too.
8. Pinterest
Are you literally kidding me that you have no clue about Pinterest? Trust me, half of my life is running through the ideas curated from this app and this is surely one of the best Instagram like app for Android as well as iOS users too.
The Pinterest app is way simpler and easy to access than the site of it. The awesome categories of fashion, tech, DIY, wedding, beauty, creative, sports and many others keep the users hooked to it all the time.
And apart from all of it, you can easily search for whatever you want in this app and results are going to pop up in form of millions of images in front of you. Not only this, you can also post ideas and images of your own on this app as well.
Pinterest is surely one of the most creative and most used apps like Instagram in this list. From little things to creating something big, you can do it all through the images available on Pinterest.
9. Periscope
Another unique addition in the list of apps like Instagram is Periscope. Well, to be true it is way different than other apps which are listed under this category but at the same time it is quite fun to use this app. And the main purpose of using this app is to live broadcast yourself.
The app is all about live videos which is like getting to know different people from different part of the world in the real time.
Periscope is one of its kind of app and this is why it has more than 10 million users on its platform. The app is so cool and you can interact with people streaming live through comments and hearts on their broadcast. Well, at least this feature is exactly like Instagram.
And whenever you miss out on some live videos you can get to catch their highlights later on too. Isn’t it so much fun to have the whole app dedicated to only live videos? You can even share your live streams directly on other social media platform through this app.

This is so simple to not only provide a glimpse of your life to others but to also discover something from their life too through VSCO.
You just need to make a VSCO profile to get started on this app and what follows next is a small digital world of your own with lots of media files.
