[Wildcat]

I am geting a new phone for x-mas and I don't have unlimited data so am I oing to have to pay to go on instagram or not

[Nancy Kay]

yes, you use the web to connect to it, so you will be charged for the data usage

[Laney]

Instagram will use your data. Use it when you're connected to wifi only and you should be fine.

yes

Yes, Instagram uses data. Depending on your usage, it can use a large amount of data. Due to the fact that you're considering using Instagram, it's pretty safe to assume you'll be getting a smartphone. If you have Wi-Fi available, you can off-set data costs by joining your Wi-Fi network and using it for data while you're within your network.
