Instagram hasn't copied from Snapchat in a very long time. Have you used Snapchat recently? The UX is completely different and awful now.

Instagram is innovating with new features like Video Calling and Live Video that Snapchat lacks.

Instagram Stories felt like a very obvious copy of Snapchat, and it wasn't that long ago.
They may have initially copied Snapchat, but they've built on the feature and made it much more engaging to use than the original.
Video calling and live video is innovation now?
I can't say that I or anyone I know has ever thought "I wish I could do video calling" on IG
Maybe they’ll add a p2p payments system too!
Snapchat had video calling for a long time and live video is straight from Music.ly and Twitter.
Snapchat has had video calling for a lot longer than IG.
