In this digital era, human life has been dominated by technological advances and social media. Instagram is one of the social media that almost everyone knows and uses. However, most people do not become aware that the use of Instagram can affect their psychological well-being. Here, the author conducted research to seek the advantages and disadvantages of Instagram towards people’s psychological well-being. The method used in this study is qualitative with interview techniques. The subject of this study comprises twenty Instagram users. From 20 subjects, various results were obtained, such as the benefits of Instagram to improve one’s psychological well-being and the disadvantages of Instagram that affect the condition of one’s psychological well-being. This research is also inspired by previous findings from several journal articles.
