How To Post A Picture On Instagram
To start, I opened Instagram on my smartphone and also here's what I saw:
It's a little bit confusing, but the switch on the bottom that's highlighted in blue? That's not the present sight you have, even though that's definitely a typical interface convention. You're on the main feed which is accessed by the home button on the reduced left. Weird, I understand.
Tap on the camera icon on the bottom-- center!-- with heaven emphasize. Currently your camera will activate and you'll see a sneak peek of the image you will take:
To take a picture, tap on the blue button. To make a (brief) video, faucet on the video camera symbol to the right of the switch.
