instagram, one of the most popular social networks today along with others like Facebook either Twitter, allows its users to share their experiences through photos and videos through the famous Instagram Stories. Furthermore, Instagram in its web version allows us to enjoy our publications and those of other users on the big screen, either in PC, laptop, tablet...
