Our team believe these are various experiences that match each other. Yet in order to do this well, we need to be mindful about keeping and also building on Instagram's toughness and also features instead of simply attempting to incorporate everything into Facebook.
That's why we're devoted to building as well as growing Instagram independently. Millions of people worldwide love the Instagram application as well as the brand related to it, as well as our goal is to aid spread this app and brand to even more individuals.
We assume the reality that Instagram is attached to various other services past Facebook is an important part of the experience.

We will attempt to learn from Instagram's experience to build similar attributes into our other products. At the same time, we will certainly attempt to help Instagram continue to grow by utilizing Facebook's solid design team and also facilities.
This is an important milestone for Facebook since it's the first time we've ever obtained a product and company with many customers. We don't plan on doing many more of these, if any in all. Yet providing the very best photo sharing experience is one reason many individuals love Facebook and we understood it would deserve bringing these 2 companies together.
We're looking forward to dealing with the Instagram team as well as to every one of the excellent brand-new experiences we're going to be able to construct with each other.
