Instagram Says It Has 90 Million Monthly Users

Photo-sharing service grows post-policy flap

Last month The New York Post sought to spice up the post-Christmas doldrums by reporting that Facebook-owned photo-sharing service Instagram was bleeding users after announcing some controversial policy changes. That report was widely denounced as sketchy. At the time Instagram called the claims false but didn’t provide any numbers to refute it. Now it has.

Today, Instagram added some stats to its press site showing that the service attracts 90 million monthly active users. The service also shared that its users upload 40 million photos per day, click its "like" button 8,500 times per second and leave 1,000 comments per second.
