Instagram is growing at a rapid pace. The latest report from the company says that 800 million users engage with the platform on at least a monthly basis, and 500 million use it on a daily basis.

Recently included in those 800 million users are Sparrow Health System and Michigan State University's College of Natural Science. Follow their accounts for innovative visual storytelling!
