How To Post Pictures On Instagram
To begin, I opened up Instagram on my mobile phone as well as right here's just what I saw:
It's a little bit confusing, yet the button on the bottom that's highlighted in blue? That's not the current view you have, despite the fact that that's certainly a common user interface convention. You get on the main feed which is accessed by the home button on the lower left. Odd, I know.
Tap on the camera symbol under-- facility!-- with heaven emphasize. Currently your camera will certainly turn on as well as you'll see a sneak peek of the photo you're about to take:
To take a picture, faucet on the blue button. To make a (short) video clip, faucet on the video camera symbol to the right of the button.
