Today, Facebook-owned photograph-centric social network Instagram announced that it has hit 400M users. This comes just 9 months after announcing that it hit the 300M mark.

 

Here’s what the team had to say about hitting the 400M user mark:

 

Our community has evolved to be even more global, with more than 75 percent living outside of the US. To all the new Instagrammers: welcome! Among the last 100 million to join, more than half live in Europe and Asia. The countries that added the most Instagrammers include Brazil, Japan and Indonesia.

 

Yes, it’s no mistake that the team wanted to let all of us know that it’s growing internationally, the key to grabbing its “next 400M.”

 

Yes, Instagram sports a bigger userbase than Twitter, who last reported 316M users. Seems like Instagram has cracked the code of finding users in every nook and cranny of the internet all over the world. With Facebook’s help of course.
