This includes earnings from in-app purchases, subscription revenue, ads and any paid downloads - all directional estimates from public App Store signals, not private Apple financial data.
How many App Store downloads does Instagram get? ⌄
Apple does not publish exact App Store download counts.

Is Instagram a top grossing iOS app and what is its App Store rank? ⌄

Check the iOS top grossing leaderboard to see how Instagram compares to other highest-grossing iPhone and iPad apps.
How is Instagram App Store revenue estimated? ⌄
