A thing you can't live with, but you can't live without
I joined Facebook many years ago and couldn't see the point of it. Very quickly though, it became very addictive.
I enjoy the fact that you can share photos with people and I use the messenger quite a lot, to privately talk to my friends.
In general though, I think that this is a good way for your time to be sucked away. It's also a way for your confidence to be lowered, when you see friends getting more 'likes' than you or you see people doing more interesting things than you. That's why I've cut my use of Facebook down, significantly of late.
One thing that has become increasingly annoying, is the fact that when I find something of interest and when I want to show someone else, I can't find it again. The content you see, differs depending on whether you look at it on your mobile, or your tablet etc.
I also don't like the different adverts and random videos that Facebook shows you. I feel like Facebook is in control of what I see, rather than only seeing the content my friends have shared.
Facebook has a lot of negatives but unfortunately, it's a necessary evil, because so many people use it to communicate nowadays.

Not for me
I don't like this app at all but somehow I can't get rid of it. I use Facebook and I've got the app on my phone so when I get message on Facebook I get them on messenger as well so it appears kind of twice. Drives me mad and I understand you can change it from settings I assume but I'm not very technology savy so I'm stuck with both. It feels like a really pushy app and I don't enjoy it.
I use Facebook to keep up with friends and groups that I belong too. You can get addicted and look every few hours to see what people have posted and people run their life by it and get upset if they cannot get on. It is very useful for information but I don't like that it also reads your computer so if you are looking up something on google for example it then appears on your Facebook page as an advert. Big Brother is watching you all the time.

Clearly, I'm getting old now, because I don't think I really "get" Instagram. You can share photos on Facebook, you can share photos on Twitter - and you can do it via your computer on both of them. Instagram just seems to be another way of doing the same thing, but in a more limited way.
That said, I do have it on my phone and have used it a few times, it's just that I find it easier to find what I'm looking for on Facebook. The feed on Facebook seems to react more readily to show me more from the groups and people I interact with, while the Instagram feed seems much more hit and miss.
I find the inability to upload pictures from the computer a little frustrating, as I would probably use it more often then, in which case I would probably come to understand its purpose more!
