It seems to me that messengers should be made a separate caste. They simplify our lives quite a bit. For me personally, Instagram doesn't exist anymore, I just don't need it. In order to stay in touch with the people I need, WhatsApp or WeChat are enough for me. These are really worthwhile apps and they are very much in demand in the global market right now.
