Izlan Somai/Shutterstock INDONESIA has been announced as the largest market for Instagram in the Asia Pacific, with 45 million of its netizens using the photo sharing app according to the company's internal data. While accounting for around 3.5 percent of the world's population, Southeast Asia's largest nation accounts for a six percent of Instagram's 700 million users globally. Instagram usage in the nation of 250 million has increased by more than 100 percent since 2016. Indonesians use the platform's Story feature twice as much as the average user. "For the people of Indonesia, sharing an important moment is part of the culture, so it is no wonder Indonesia has become one of the largest Instagram Story content producers," said Facebook Indonesia's country director Sri Widowati last week, as quoted by the Jakarta Post.
