Aniston's first photo -- a group shot with "Friends" co-stars Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer that temporarily crashed the platform -- picked up a million followers in just 5 hours and 16 minutes, setting a Guinness World Record. That number swelled to 11.8 million as of early Thursday morning. Her first post has more than 12 million likes.

"Instagram FRIENDS too. HI INSTAGRAM," read the caption.
