In order to survive this competition there can be some analysis that can be done. One of them is about the behavioral aspect of users’ activities, that we can use to extract a pattern of users’ activity in social network applications. These patterns can be used to analyze user acquisition or churn. In this paper we will be talking about the behaviors of Iranian users in a mobile social network. We gathered the data by a third party application for Instagram and we are going to use different methods of visualization, statistical methods and analysis to show different patterns in users behaviors
