How does it change in a sentence?

As a proper noun, Instagram is treated as a masculine noun in French.

While Instagram is a noun, French users often create the verb instagrammer to describe the act of posting a photo to the platform.
If you want to refer to an Instagram 'story', the French often use the English word, but the verb used to describe the action is often the anglicized storyer in casual slang.
If you are 'scrolling' through Instagram, a French speaker might use the verb faire défiler, which literally means 'to make slide'.
