To start, order the Instagram application for your smartphone: You can't upload photos to Instagram from your computer system. They have apps for iPhone, Android and Windows Phone. Register, get your account established, then locate something interesting in front of you that's worth taking a picture of as well as sharing.

Posting Photos On Instagram


To start, I opened Instagram on my smart device as well as below's what I saw:


It's a bit confusing, yet the switch on the bottom that's highlighted in blue? That's not the present view you have, even though that's definitely a common user interface convention. You get on the main feed which is accessed by the home button on the lower left. Unusual, I understand.

Faucet on the camera symbol under-- facility!-- with heaven emphasize. Now your camera will activate as well as you'll see a preview of the picture you will take:


To take an image, faucet on the blue button. To make a (brief) video clip, tap on the video camera icon to the right of the switch. Faucet on the left button as well as you can access your existing photos on the phone (what I generally utilize, using the routine phone camera application for taking the picture).

The bottom boxes stand for various pre-programmed filters, "Slumber", "Crema", "Ludwig", and so on. There are many if you swipe to show them. I favor tweaking photos manually, so I touch on the elegant wrench icon on the right, regarding 2/3 of the way down the display.


Allow's start with "Adjust" due to the fact that the picture's not quite square. Easily dealt with, luckily.

Tap on "Adjust" on the lower left edge.

Successive, I'll modify the Comparison since I discover that on my iPhone, a minimum of, it's always simply a little bit below I like:


Once again, use your finger to adjust it with the slider, and also faucet on the check mark to commit the change or the "X" to discard it if you change your mind.

The image certainly looks much better. To proceed, tap on the "Next" link on the top right.

Allow's start with the inscription, something I assume is very necessary for an intriguing Instagram post.

To do so, tap in the "Write a caption ..." area and also your phone's keyboard need to appear:


You can see that I've already keyed in one in right here. Note using "hashtags" (" #RealStrength" and "#Dad 2Summit"). That's a notational convention prominent in Instagram and also assists your photos be found. If you're attending a concert, seeing a breathtaking area, at a conference, all these likely have hashtags you can utilize to help your photos get visibility. Then again, if that appears overwhelming, don't worry about it and also simply add an intriguing and/or witty message.

As soon as you're done, faucet on "OK" on the top right and also you'll have the choice of doing extra ...


If there are identifiable individuals in the images who are likewise on Instagram, tap "Tag People" and recognize them. If you desire your place determined on a map when the picture is uploaded-- don't do this if you're residence!!-- after that leave the slider on "Add to Photo Map" enabled, as I have. You can also determine particular locations by tapping on "Name This Location" as well as scrolling with the list to discover the restaurant, bar, performance location, auditorium or various other place.
