Photo and video sharing wouldn’t be complete without Instagram. It is a great social platform to share what you are up to. With Instagram, you can connect to the people and things you love. Instagram asks you for the age details to ensure you aren’t an underage user. Also, it uses age details to bring you relevant content. If you have provided the wrong birthday and want to change it, then Instagram lets you do it.
