Cristiano Ronaldo has one of the most popular Instagram accounts as of April 2024.

              The Portuguese footballer is the most-followed person on the photo sharing app platform with 628 million followers. Instagram's own account was ranked first with roughly 672 million followers.

              How popular is Instagram?

              Instagram is a photo-sharing social networking service that enables users to take pictures and edit them with filters. The platform allows users to post and share their images online and directly with their friends and followers on the social network. The cross-platform app reached one billion monthly active users in mid-2018. In 2020, there were over 114 million Instagram users in the United States and experts project this figure to surpass 127 million users in 2023.

              Who uses Instagram?

              Instagram audiences are predominantly young – recent data states that almost 60 percent of U.S. Instagram users are aged 34 years or younger. Fall 2020 data reveals that Instagram is also one of the most popular social media for teens and one of the social networks with the biggest reach among teens in the United States.

              Celebrity influencers on Instagram
              Many celebrities and athletes are brand spokespeople and generate additional income with social media advertising and sponsored content. Unsurprisingly, Ronaldo ranked first again, as the average media value of one of his Instagram posts was 985,441 U.S. dollars.

In 2021, there were 1.21 billion monthly active users of Meta's Instagram, making up over 28 percent of the world's internet users. By 2025, it has been forecast that there will be 1.44 billion monthly active users of the social media platform, which would account for 31.2 percent of global internet users.

How popular is Instagram?

Instagram, as of January 2022, was the fourth most popular social media platform in the world in terms of user numbers. YouTube and WhatsApp ranked in second and third place, respectively, whilst Facebook remained the most popular, with almost three billion monthly active users worldwide.

India had the largest number of Instagram users as of January 2022, with a total of over 230 million users in the country. The second-largest Instagram audience could be found in the United States, with almost 160 million people subscribing to the photo and video sharing app.

Gen Z and Instagram

As of September 2021, Gen Z users in the United States spent an average of five hours per week on Instagram. Although Instagram ranked third in terms of hours per week spent on the platform, Gen Z users spent considerably more time on TikTok, amounting to a weekly average of over 10 hours being spent on the mobile-first video app.

Most followed accounts on Instagram

As of May 2022, Instagram’s own account had 504.37 million followers. In terms of celebrities, Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo (@chistiano) had over 440.41 million followers on the social network. Moreover, the average media value of an Instagram post by Ronaldo was over 985,000 U.S. dollars.

The most liked post on Instagram as of May 2022 was Photo of an Egg, which was posted in 2019 by the account @world_record_egg. Photo of an Egg has not only exceeded 55 million likes on the platform, but it also has nearly 3.5 million comments, and the account itself has over 4.5 million Instagram followers. After mysterious posts published by the account, World Record Egg revealed itself as part of a mental health campaign aimed at the difficulties and demands of using social media.

The Top Instagram Accounts Dataset is a collection of 200 rows of data that provides valuable insights into the most popular Instagram accounts across different categories. The dataset contains several columns that provide comprehensive information on each account's performance, engagement rate, and audience size.

1. The "rank": column lists the accounts in order of their popularity on Instagram, starting from the most followed account.

2. The "name": column displays the Instagram handle of the account, which can be used to locate and follow the account on Instagram.

3. The "channel_info": column provides a brief description of the account, such as the type of content it features or the products and services it offers.

4. The "Category": column categorizes the account based on its primary theme or subject matter, such as fashion, sports, entertainment, or food.

5. The "posts": column displays the total number of posts on the account. This column helps to understand the account's level of activity and the amount of content it has produced over time.

6. The "followers": column indicates the number of people who follow the account on Instagram.

7. The "avg likes": column displays the average number of likes that the account's posts receive per post.

8. The "eng rate": column calculates the account's engagement rate by dividing the total number of likes and comments received by the total number of followers, expressed as a percentage.

How you can use this Dataset?

The Top Instagram Accounts Dataset can be used in a variety of ways to gain insights into the performance and engagement levels of popular Instagram accounts. Here are a few examples of what you can do with this dataset:

1. Conduct category analysis: The dataset provides information on the category of each Instagram account. You can use this information to conduct a category analysis and identify the most popular categories on Instagram.

2. Identify top influencers: The dataset ranks Instagram accounts based on their follower count. You can use this information to identify the top influencers in different categories and use them for influencer marketing campaigns.

3. Analyze engagement levels: The dataset includes columns such as "avg likes" and "eng rate" that provide insights into the engagement levels of Instagram accounts. You can use this information to understand what type of content resonates with Instagram users and create more engaging content for your own account.

Instagram data-download example dataset

In this repository you can find a data-set consisting of 11 personal Instagram archives, or Data-Download Packages (DDPs).

How the data was generated

These Instagram accounts were all new and generated by a group of researchers who were interested to figure out in detail the structure and variety in structure of these Instagram DDPs. The participants user the Instagram account extensively for approximately a week. The participants also intensively communicated with each other so that the data can be used as an example of a network.

The data was primarily generated to evaluate the performance of de-identification software. Therefore, the text in the DDPs particularly contain many randomly chosen (Dutch) first names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses and URLS. In addition, the images in the DDPs contain many faces and text as well. The DDPs contain faces and text (usernames) of third parties. However, only content of so-called `professional accounts' are shared, such as accounts of famous individuals or institutions who self-consciously and actively seek publicity, and these sources are easily publicly available. Furthermore, the DDPs do not contain sensitive personal data of these individuals.

Obtaining your Instagram DDP

After using the Instagram accounts intensively for approximately a week, the participants requested their personal Instagram DDPs by using the following steps. You can follow these steps yourself if you are interested in your personal Instagram DDP.

1. Go to www.instagram.com and log in
2. Click on your profile picture, go to Settings and Privacy and Security
3. Scroll to Data download and click Request download
4. Enter your email adress and click Next
5. Enter your password and click Request download

Instagram then delivered the data in a compressed zip folder with the format username_YYYYMMDD.zip (i.e., Instagram handle and date of download) to the participant, and the participants shared these DDPs with us.

Data cleaning

To comply with the Instagram user agreement, participants shared their full name, phone number and e-mail address. In addition, Instagram logged the i.p. addresses the participant used during their active period on Instagram. After colleting the DDPs, we manually replaced such information with random replacements such that the DDps shared here do not contain any personal data of the participants.

How this data-set can be used

This data-set was generated with the intention to evaluate the performance of the de-identification software. We invite other researchers to use this data-set for example to investigate what type of data can be found in Instagram DDPs or to investigate the structure of Instagram DDPs. The packages can also be used for example data-analyses, although no substantive research questions can be answered using this data as the data does not reflect how research subjects behave `in the wild'.

Instagram’s most popular post

              As of April 2024, the most popular post on Instagram was Lionel Messi and his teammates after winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Argentina, posted by the account @leomessi. Messi's post, which racked up over 61 million likes within a day, knocked off the reigning post, which was 'Photo of an Egg'. Originally posted in January 2021, 'Photo of an Egg' surpassed the world’s most popular Instagram post at that time, which was a photo by Kylie Jenner’s daughter totaling 18 million likes.
              After several cryptic posts published by the account, World Record Egg revealed itself to be a part of a mental health campaign aimed at the pressures of social media use.

              Instagram’s most popular accounts

              As of April 2024, the official Instagram account @instagram had the most followers of any account on the platform, with 672 million followers. Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo (@cristiano) was the most followed individual with 628 million followers, while Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) was the most followed woman on the platform with 429 million. Additionally, Inter Miami CF striker Lionel Messi (@leomessi) had a total of 502 million. Celebrities such as The Rock, Kylie Jenner, and Ariana Grande all had over 380 million followers each.

              Instagram influencers

              In the United States, the leading content category of Instagram influencers was lifestyle, with 15.25 percent of influencers creating lifestyle content in 2021. Music ranked in second place with 10.96 percent, followed by family with 8.24 percent. Having a large audience can be very lucrative: Instagram influencers in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom with over 90,000 followers made around 1,221 US dollars per post.

              Instagram around the globe

              Instagram’s worldwide popularity continues to grow, and India is the leading country in terms of number of users, with over 362.9 million users as of January 2024. The United States had 169.65 million Instagram users and Brazil had 134.6 million users. The social media platform was also very popular in Indonesia and Turkey, with 100.9 and 57.1, respectively. As of January 2024, Instagram was the fourth most popular social network in the world, behind Facebook, YouTube and WhatsApp.

As of April 2024, almost 32 percent of global Instagram audiences were aged between 18 and 24 years, and 30.6 percent of users were aged between 25 and 34 years. Overall, 16 percent of users belonged to the 35 to 44 year age group.

              Instagram users

              With roughly one billion monthly active users, Instagram belongs to the most popular social networks worldwide. The social photo sharing app is especially popular in India and in the United States, which have respectively 362.9 million and 169.7 million Instagram users each.

              Instagram features

              One of the most popular features of Instagram is Stories. Users can post photos and videos to their Stories stream and the content is live for others to view for 24 hours before it disappears. In January 2019, the company reported that there were 500 million daily active Instagram Stories users. Instagram Stories directly competes with Snapchat, another photo sharing app that initially became famous due to it’s “vanishing photos” feature.
              As of the second quarter of 2021, Snapchat had 293 million daily active users.

Thakur, “Five Years of COVID-19 Discourse on Instagram: A Labeled Instagram Dataset of Over Half a Million Posts for Multilingual Sentiment Analysis”, Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing (MLNLP 2024), Chengdu, China, October 18-20, 2024 (Paper accepted for publication, Preprint available at: https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.03293)

Abstract

The outbreak of COVID-19 served as a catalyst for content creation and dissemination on social media platforms, as such platforms serve as virtual communities where people can connect and communicate with one another seamlessly. While there have been several works related to the mining and analysis of COVID-19-related posts on social media platforms such as Twitter (or X), YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok, there is still limited research that focuses on the public discourse on Instagram in this context. Furthermore, the prior works in this field have only focused on the development and analysis of datasets of Instagram posts published during the first few months of the outbreak. The work presented in this paper aims to address this research gap and presents a novel multilingual dataset of 500,153 Instagram posts about COVID-19 published between January 2020 and September 2024. This dataset contains Instagram posts in 161 different languages. After the development of this dataset, multilingual sentiment analysis was performed using VADER and twitter-xlm-roberta-base-sentiment. This process involved classifying each post as positive, negative, or neutral. The results of sentiment analysis are presented as a separate attribute in this dataset.

For each of these posts, the Post ID, Post Description, Date of publication, language code, full version of the language, and sentiment label are presented as separate attributes in the dataset.

The Instagram posts in this dataset are present in 161 different languages out of which the top 10 languages in terms of frequency are English (343041 posts), Spanish (30220 posts), Hindi (15832 posts), Portuguese (15779 posts), Indonesian (11491 posts), Tamil (9592 posts), Arabic (9416 posts), German (7822 posts), Italian (5162 posts), Turkish (4632 posts)

There are 535,021 distinct hashtags in this dataset with the top 10 hashtags in terms of frequency being #covid19 (169865 posts), #covid (132485 posts), #coronavirus (117518 posts), #covid_19 (104069 posts), #covidtesting (95095 posts), #coronavirusupdates (75439 posts), #corona (39416 posts), #healthcare (38975 posts), #staysafe (36740 posts), #coronavirusoutbreak (34567 posts)

The following is a description of the attributes present in this dataset

Post ID: Unique ID of each Instagram post

Post Description: Complete description of each post in the language in which it was originally published

Date: Date of publication in MM/DD/YYYY format

Language code: Language code (for example: “en”) that represents the language of the post as detected using the Google Translate API

Full Language: Full form of the language (for example: “English”) that represents the language of the post as detected using the Google Translate API

Sentiment: Results of sentiment analysis (using the preprocessed version of each post) where each post was classified as positive, negative, or neutral

Open Research Questions

This dataset is expected to be helpful for the investigation of the following research questions and even beyond:

How does sentiment toward COVID-19 vary across different languages?

How has public sentiment toward COVID-19 evolved from 2020 to the present?

How do cultural differences affect social media discourse about COVID-19 across various languages?

How has COVID-19 impacted mental health, as reflected in social media posts across different languages?

How effective were public health campaigns in shifting public sentiment in different languages?

What patterns of vaccine hesitancy or support are present in different languages?

How did geopolitical events influence public sentiment about COVID-19 in multilingual social media discourse?

What role does social media discourse play in shaping public behavior toward COVID-19 in different linguistic communities?

How does the sentiment of minority or underrepresented languages compare to that of major world languages regarding COVID-19?

What insights can be gained by comparing the sentiment of COVID-19 posts in widely spoken languages (e.g., English, Spanish) to those in less common languages?

All the Instagram posts that were collected during this data mining process to develop this dataset were publicly available on Instagram and did not require a user to log in to Instagram to view the same (at the time of writing this paper).

As of January 2024, Instagram was slightly more popular with men than women, with men accounting for 50.6 percent of the platform’s global users. Additionally, the social media app was most popular amongst younger audiences, with almost 32 percent of users aged between 18 and 24 years.

              Instagram’s Global Audience

              As of January 2024, Instagram was the fourth most popular social media platform globally, reaching two billion monthly active users (MAU). This number is projected to keep growing with no signs of slowing down, which is not a surprise as the global online social penetration rate across all regions is constantly increasing.
              As of January 2024, the country with the largest Instagram audience was India with 362.9 million users, followed by the United States with 169.7 million users.

              Who is winning over the generations?

              Even though Instagram’s audience is almost twice the size of TikTok’s on a global scale, TikTok has shown itself to be a fierce competitor, particularly amongst younger audiences. TikTok was the most downloaded mobile app globally in 2022, generating 672 million downloads. As of 2022, Generation Z in the United States spent more time on TikTok than on Instagram monthly.

As of April 2024, Bahrain was the country with the highest Instagram audience reach with 95.6 percent. Kazakhstan also had a high Instagram audience penetration rate, with 90.8 percent of the population using the social network. In the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and Brunei, the photo-sharing platform was used by more than 85 percent of each country's population.

As of April 2024, around 16.5 percent of global active Instagram users were men between the ages of 18 and 24 years. More than half of the global Instagram population worldwide was aged 34 years or younger.

              Teens and social media

              As one of the biggest social networks worldwide, Instagram is especially popular with teenagers. As of fall 2020, the photo-sharing app ranked third in terms of preferred social network among teenagers in the United States, second to Snapchat and TikTok. Instagram was one of the most influential advertising channels among female Gen Z users when making purchasing decisions. Teens report feeling more confident, popular, and better about themselves when using social media, and less lonely, depressed and anxious.
              Social media can have negative effects on teens, which is also much more pronounced on those with low emotional well-being. It was found that 35 percent of teenagers with low social-emotional well-being reported to have experienced cyber bullying when using social media, while in comparison only five percent of teenagers with high social-emotional well-being stated the same. As such, social media can have a big impact on already fragile states of mind.

Important : its a 3 month gap data Starting from March 2022 to Dec 2022

Influencers are categorized by the number of followers they have on social media. They include celebrities with large followings to niche content creators with a loyal following on social-media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.Their followers range in number from hundreds of millions to 1,000. Influencers may be categorized in tiers (mega-, macro-, micro-, and nano-influencers), based on their number of followers.

Businesses pursue people who aim to lessen their consumption of advertisements, and are willing to pay their influencers more. Targeting influencers is seen as increasing marketing's reach, counteracting a growing tendency by prospective customers to ignore marketing.

Marketing researchers Kapitan and Silvera find that influencer selection extends into product personality. This product and benefit matching is key. For a shampoo, it should use an influencer with good hair. Likewise, a flashy product may use bold colors to convey its brand. If an influencer is not flashy, they will clash with the brand. Matching an influencer with the product's purpose and mood is important.

Our fashion dataset is composed of information about 24,752 posts by 13,350 people on Instagram. The data collection was done over a month period in January, 2015. We searched for posts mentioning 48 internationally renowned fashion brand names as hashtag. Our data contain information about hashtags as well as image features based on deep learning (Convolutional Neural Network or CNN). The list of learned features include selfies, body snaps, marketing shots, non-fashion, faces, logo, etc. Please refer to our paper for the full description of how we built our deep learning model.

How much time do people spend on social media? As of 2025, the average daily social media usage of internet users worldwide amounted to 141 minutes per day, down from 143 minutes in the previous year. Currently, the country with the most time spent on social media per day is Brazil, with online users spending an average of 3 hours and 49 minutes on social media each day. In comparison, the daily time spent with social media in the U.S. was just 2 hours and 16 minutes. Global social media usageCurrently, the global social network penetration rate is 62.3 percent. Northern Europe had an 81.7 percent social media penetration rate, topping the ranking of global social media usage by region. Eastern and Middle Africa closed the ranking with 10.1 and 9.6 percent usage reach, respectively. People access social media for a variety of reasons. Users like to find funny or entertaining content and enjoy sharing photos and videos with friends, but mainly use social media to stay in touch with current events friends. Global impact of social mediaSocial media has a wide-reaching and significant impact on not only online activities but also offline behavior and life in general. During a global online user survey in February 2019, a significant share of respondents stated that social media had increased their access to information, ease of communication, and freedom of expression. On the flip side, respondents also felt that social media had worsened their personal privacy, increased a polarization in politics and heightened everyday distractions.

Automatically describing images using natural sentences is an essential task to visually impaired people's inclusion on the Internet. Although there are many datasets in the literature, most of them contain only English captions, whereas datasets with captions described in other languages are scarce.

PraCegoVer arose on the Internet, stimulating users from social media to publish images, tag #PraCegoVer and add a short description of their content. Inspired by this movement, we have proposed the #PraCegoVer, a multi-modal dataset with Portuguese captions based on posts from Instagram. It is the first large dataset for image captioning in Portuguese with freely annotated images.

#PraCegoVer has 533,523 pairs with images and captions described in Portuguese collected from more than 14 thousand different profiles. Also, the average caption length in #PraCegoVer is 39.3 words and the standard deviation is 29.7.

Dataset Structure

#PraCegoVer dataset is composed of the main file dataset.json and a collection of compressed files named images.tar.gz.partX
containing the images. The file dataset.json comprehends a list of json objects with the attributes:

• user: anonymized user that made the post;
• filename: image file name;
• raw_caption: raw caption;
• caption: clean caption;
• date: post date.

Each instance in dataset.json is associated with exactly one image in the images directory whose filename is pointed by the attribute filename. Also, we provide a sample with five instances, so the users can download the sample to get an overview of the dataset before downloading it completely.

Download Instructions

If you just want to have an overview of the dataset structure, you can download sample.tar.gz. But, if you want to use the dataset, or any of its subsets (63k and 173k), you must download all the files and run the following commands to uncompress and join the files:

cat images.tar.gz.part* > images.tar.gz
tar -xzvf images.tar.gz

Alternatively, you can download the entire dataset from the terminal using the python script download_dataset.py available in PraCegoVer repository. In this case, first, you have to download the script and create an access token here. Then, you can run the following command to download and uncompress the image files:

python download_dataset.py --access_token=

The COVID-19 pandemic raises the problem of adapting face recognition systems to the new reality, where people may wear surgical masks to cover their noses and mouths. Traditional data sets (e.g., CelebA, CASIA-WebFace) used for training these systems were released before the pandemic, so they now seem unsuited due to the lack of examples of people wearing masks. We propose a method for enhancing data sets containing faces without masks by creating synthetic masks and overlaying them on faces in the original images. Our method relies on Spark AR Studio, a developer program made by Facebook that is used to create Instagram face filters. In our approach, we use 9 masks of different colors, shapes and fabrics. We employ our method to generate a number of 196,254 (96.8%) masks for the CelebA data set.

Name: LGBTQIAphobia_dataset_augmented_balanced
Description: Labeled dataset with phrases retrieved from different digital sources (X/twitter, Instagram, TikTok) containing diverse messages directed towards the LGBTQIA+ community. It has 1000 phrases classified as {Non-LGBTQIAphobic (0), LGBTQIAphobic (1)} . It is the balanced version of LGBTQIAphobia_dataset_augmented.
Language: Spanish
Format: CSV (UTF-8)
Structure: id; phrase; class {0,1}
Purpose: Be used for fine-tuned models that detect language offensive to Spanish or Latin LGBT communities in digital environments.
Sources: X/Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Youtube comments
Size: 20Kb
Ethical considerations: This dataset was created strictly for academic and research purposes. We oppose any type of digital violence, in this case, against the LGBTQIA+ community. The person who was the target of the hate speech has been anonymised, and there is no intention to harm them in any way, either them or the person who delivered the speech. We prioritise the protection of the privacy and confidentiality of vulnerable individuals. To safeguard privacy, we carefully remove any identifying details, such as user IDs, phone numbers, and addresses, before sharing the data with our annotators. All the data we collect is from publicly available sources and does not contain any personal or sensitive information that may jeopardise anyone’s privacy. I request researchers to commit to abiding by ethical guidelines so as not to unnecessarily harm individuals.
¿How was it created?
- Starting recovery of discriminatory phrases for the LGBTQIA+ community from X/Twitter, Instagram, and Tiktok (197 phrases).
- Labelling by 3 raters as non-LGBTphobic (0) and LGBTphobic (1).
- Text augmentation was applied through backtranslation and random synonym replacement.
- Translating to Spanish part of McGiff, J., & Nikolov, N. S. (2024) dataset and was added under licence CC-BY-4.0
- To balance the majority class, we applied the undersampling technique.
- Finally, we obtained 1000 tagged phrases for version 1.0.2 of LGBTQIAphobia_augmented_balanced

Context

Riga is a lovely city near the Baltic Sea, the capital of Latvia.

Locals are proud of Rigas art nouveau heritage and not without a reason. Over a third of all buildings in Riga are examples of this unique school of design and it’s worth to bring it to the light over and over again. This is what “Riga faces” project tries to do.

In architecture, a mascaron ornament is a face, usually human, sometimes frightening or chimeric whose alleged function was originally to frighten away evil spirits so that they would not enter the building.

There are so many in Riga!

Inspiration

Despite small size, there are a couple of exciting ideas worth trying: * Apply style transfer to convert given real face to "Riga face" * Train a GAN model to create new "Riga faces" using few-shot transfer learning on existing face GANs

Context The Ig Nobel Prize is a satiric prize awarded annually since 1991 to celebrate ten unusual or trivial achievements in scientific research awarded each year in mid-September, around the time the recipients of the genuine Nobel Prizes are announced. Its aim is to "honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think." The name of the award is a pun on the Nobel Prize, which it parodies, and on the word ignoble ("not noble").

Organized by the scientific humor magazine, Annals of Improbable Research (AIR), the Ig Nobel Prizes are presented by Nobel laureates in a ceremony at the Sanders Theater, Harvard University, and are followed by the winners' public lectures at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The prizes are intended to celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative, and spur people's interest in science, medicine, and technology, commented March Abrahams, editor of Annals of Improbable Research and co-sponsor of the awards, on the 2006 awards. All prizes are awarded for real achievements, except for three in 1991 and one in 1994, due to an erroneous press release.
