To begin, I opened up Instagram on my smartphone as well as right here's what I saw:


It's a little bit confusing, however 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're on the major feed which is accessed by the home button on the reduced left. Strange, I know.

Tap on the camera icon under-- center!-- with heaven emphasize. Currently your camera will activate and also you'll see a sneak peek of the photo you're about to take:


To take a photo, faucet on the blue switch. To make a (short) video clip, tap on the video camera icon to the right of the switch.

Successive, I'll modify the Comparison given that I locate that on my apple iphone, a minimum of, it's constantly simply a bit below I choose:

If you're participating in a performance, going to a picturesque place, at a meeting, all these likely have hashtags you could utilize to assist your images acquire visibility. However, if that appears frustrating, don't worry about it and also just include an interesting and/or witty message.
