Not sure how this is calculated, but you're estimating Instragram at 4B+ and Google (maps, mail, chrome, voice, ...) at 800m? Seems like something's wrong.
In aggregate, google's apps have more installs -- but many are installs by the same user, that use gmail, google maps, youtube, etc. Also, the value is about the apps, not the companies / engineering teams / brand recognition behind them.
Instagram has actually been historically dropping in our valuation as the growth curve dips down, especially on iOS.

Instagram gets consistently more downloads and happier users than all of Google's products. IE, take a look at the review history on youtube: https://sensortower.com/ios/us/google-inc/app/youtube/544007...
