Instagram is one of the most used apps in Kosovo, alongside Viber and WhatsApp. A local +383 number makes creator and shop accounts aimed at local followers look native rather than foreign.
Diaspora in Germany and Switzerland: A very large Kosovar diaspora lives in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, and a +383 number keeps them on family Viber and WhatsApp chats.
Instagram often asks new accounts to confirm the phone number again after a few days of activity.
Kosovo received its own +383 country code only in 2017, so many residents and businesses have moved to it relatively recently. Remittances from the diaspora in Germany and Switzerland play a major role in the economy. A Kosovar number connects that diaspora with one of Europe’s youngest and most online populations.
