Android – Instagram Hits 10 Million Downloads In 22 Days
Instagram for Android is growing at a huge rate, today they’ve hit a benchmark of 10 million downloads in just 22 days after it launched on Google Play. Since it was announced that Facebook were purchasing Instagram for $1 billion the downloads have continued to roll in, the company is expecting 50 million users on all platforms after hitting the 40 million mark just under two weeks ago.
When Instagram was launched for Android the downloads reached 1 million in under 24 hours, this figure was rapidly surpassed to 5 million downloads in 6 days and so it continues.
Despite many wondering whether Facebook had paid too much for Instagram, so far it looks like a smart move and downloads are showing no abating.
