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


It's a bit complicated, however the button on the bottom that's highlighted in blue? That's not the existing sight you have, although that's absolutely an usual user interface convention. You get on the major feed which is accessed by the home button on the lower left. Strange, I recognize.

Tap on the camera symbol under-- facility!-- with heaven emphasize. Currently your camera will certainly trigger and also you'll see a sneak peek of the photo you will take:
