Naming Instagram competitors is challenging, even for seasoned social media managers. The behemoth fought off Snapchat and Periscope in 2016; both apps are losing marketshare. Social media is always changing, but some networks have such large user bases that they seem like institutions. Could any platform ever replace Instagram? With more than 100 million users (78 million in the US alone), Instagram competitors have an uphill battle to gain market share.

Path
