We take a look back at how our Tatler friends stay ahead of Instagram, one of the most entertaining and influential social platforms of our time, as well as the top Instagram aesthetic trends in the past decade
Can you imagine how the world would be like without Instagram, creative filters and drool-worthy food photos flooding our feeds?
Since its debut in 2010, Instagram has completely changed the face of the social media industry and the way we think about mobile photos. (Quick fact: Instagram hit one billion monthly active users in 2018)
The app has also given us a new way of seeing celebrities and socialites, bringing us closer to their lives through chic street style snaps, perfectly orchestrated flat lays and more.
Of course, members of the Tatler community are no strangers to spotlight, and their tastes for the finer things in life is made apparent in those beautiful photos they shared on Instagram. Before jumping into the new year’s festivities, let’s take a look at how Instagram has evolved over time and some of the best moments shared in the Hong Kong Tatler-verse:
Boomerang
Instagram firstly introduced Boomerang as a new standalone app in 2015, which enables users to capture a burst of photos that will be turned into a GIF-like mini video, playing forward and backward in a loop. Boomerang was added as an in-app feature for Instagram Stories the following year.
Here’s how our Tatler friends make use of Boomerang to turn precious moments into something fun and extra memorable:
