Since the birth of Instagram, back in 2010, the photography social network has gone from being a simple alternative to Pinterest to becoming one of the best showcases for brands and public figures in general. Any celebrity or company that wants to have a presence on the Internet has an Instagram profile, from soccer players and actors to automotive companies and telephone manufacturers .
The most important variable in the equation for success is the number of followers: the greater the number of followers, the greater the presence on the Internet. But, which are really the accounts with the most followers on Instagram in 2020? We have made a compilation with the 10 Instagram profiles with the most followers in the last month.

The account with the largest number of followers on Instagram is… Instagram! The reason is very simple: for several years now, the application automatically follows the Instagram profile within the social network. In this way, any user who creates a new account on Instagram will be a follower of the application's profile . Of course, we can withdraw the follow if we wish, although the content of the account is usually quite interesting for all those who seek to take full advantage of the new functions of the platform.
