What Does IGL Mean on Instagram?

IGL is a popular acronym used in the world of gaming. When it is used on Instagram, it is basically related to the person who loves to play online games. It stands for ‘In-Game Leader‘. You must be wondering why this term is used for a player who leads the team, especially in shooting games. Honestly, you are not totally right. Of course, you can use it for a player who is leading the team but more than that it is used for people who actually make strategies in shooting games or to take kills. 

Example: “What a match we had! It was so much fun. I must say you were IGL in the last match.”

How to Use IGL?

Here are some tips that you must consider while using IGL:

• You can use it in captions of the content that you post related to your gaming style, especially in the ones that are related to the Shooting game. 
• Stop overusing acronyms in your conversation. It is because when you are using the acronyms a lot, some of them start losing their value. In fact, some people also do not focus on such terms. 
• Make sure that the other person knows the meaning. Suppose you were an In-game leader and you want to tell that to one of your friends. But that friend has never played shooting games. In such a case, it will be hard for them to understand this acronym. Therefore, make sure to check if the other person knows the meaning or not. 
• Try to have a clear context. As it is related to the shooting game, you must make sure that the other person knows it is related to the shooting game. 
• You can use it either to tell the other person that you were great in the match you played with your friend. Or you can use it for another friend who was really great in the match.
