Many activities can be done by individuals through the Instagram platform, which is generally used for communication, sharing photos/videos, Instagram stories, viewing posts, Instagram stories of public figures/influencers, friends/acquaintances, and seeking information. Instagram users who view other people's posts are correlated with a decrease in self-esteem. One factor that can cause a decrease in self-esteem among Instagram users is social comparison.
