How To Post An Instagram Photo


To begin, I opened up Instagram on my smartphone and also below's what I saw:


It's a bit complicated, however the button under that's highlighted in blue? That's not the existing sight you have, although that's definitely a typical 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 icon on the bottom-- facility!-- with heaven highlight. Currently your camera will certainly turn on and you'll see a preview of the image you're about to take:


To take a photo, faucet on the blue button. Making a (short) video, faucet on the video camera symbol to the right of the switch. Faucet on the left switch and also you can access your existing photos on the phone (exactly what I normally utilize, using the routine phone camera app for taking the picture).

The bottom boxes stand for different pre-programmed filters, "Slumber", "Crema", "Ludwig", etc. There are plenty of if you swipe to show them. I like tweaking images by hand, so I tap on the stylized wrench symbol on the right, about 2/3 of the way down the screen.

Then again, if that seems frustrating, don't worry regarding it as well as simply include an interesting and/or amusing message.
