We will not go into lengthy conversations about what Instagram is and why it is needed. As a starting point, we take the fact that you really need it, and you want to quickly figure out how to use Instagram on your phone. Don't stress! Everything is not as complicated as it might seem, but it is better to act in order so as not to waste extra time on repeated downloads and installations. So let's get started!
Installation and registration
To install something on your phone, you must first download it. Therefore, we are looking for the desired application in the AppStore or GooglePlay, download it and install it. There is no point in explaining how to do this, you just press the buttons according to the instructions of the gadget, and everything will be installed automatically. Finding Instagram is also not difficult - it is one of the first in the list of the most popular queries.
Next, the registration process begins. And here again there is nothing complicated. The application will ask you to enter your personal details and email address, you will also need to come up with a password. For those who are not in the know, no verification code, notification letters, mailings and other spam will be sent to the specified “soap”, so feel free to specify any email address. The same goes for your data. But since you will still use Instagram, so that there is no confusion when integrating with social networks and searching for friends, it makes sense to indicate normal real data. For example, so that acquaintances and potential customers can easily find you.
Let's compare actions:
- you have downloaded and installed the application on your gadget;
- you have provided your personal data and email address;
- you have created a password.
Welcome to Instagram!
You can start using the app right now. You will see a menu consisting of 5 items: "Feed", "Camera", "Popular", "News", "Profile". Now you are interested in the "Profile" section - it is through it that you will make all the settings.
Notifications
Notifications or push notifications are messages from the system about everything that happens to your account. With their help, you can find out:
- about comments or "likes" to your pictures;
- about being tagged in a photo;
- mentioning you with a link to your account;
- that your photo is featured on the "Popular" page.
In other words, you can't do without notifications, but first you need to enable them. To do this, we proceed as follows:
- In the profile we find the gear icon - these are the personal settings of your profile, we need it there, click on it.
- A menu will open, in it you should find the column “push-notifications-settings”. We choose it.
- Now you just have to choose who you want to receive notifications from: from those you follow; from those who follow you; from all of us.
You can also disable all notifications completely. But then you will have to learn about all the events from the “News” column on the main page of your Instagram account. They will also be displayed there, you just won't get a notification about it.
What is displayed in other sections of the menu:
- "News" - here, as mentioned above, you can find out about everything that has happened recently with your account or with the accounts of your friends;
- "Feed" - all the latest events, photos, videos added by users are displayed in the feed. You can view them, like and comment;
- "Popular" - the most interesting posts get to this page. If you use Instagram for business purposes, you should go here several times a day, this is your everything.
There is no need to explain why the “Camera” section is needed, this is the main working tool of Instagram.
Integration with social networks
Why is it so important to figure out how to link Instagram to Facebook via phone? Because it is through Facebook that you will manage your personal account and business group, if, of course, you decide to create one. Actually, without Facebook, you won’t do it at all, so it’s still worth connecting.
Important: There is one more thing to consider. Instagram is an application created specifically for mobile gadgets. That is, you can enter it from a PC, but for this you will have to download and install an Android emulator.
But if you link your Instagram account to the Facebook social network, using the application will become much more convenient.
How to do it:
- Go through the profile in "Settings".
- Select Linked Accounts.
- The program will give a list of all services with which you can integrate. All you have to do is select the ones you want and check the boxes next to them.
After you click the "Done" button, your Instagram account will be integrated with all selected social networks. Now all the photos that you post will automatically be displayed there too.
Attention! Unfortunately, not all social networks are available in the Instagram app yet, for example, Google+ is not yet on the list. But since the creators of the application are constantly working on improving it, there is every chance that it will appear there as long as you master how to use Instagram from your phone.
Adding photos
How to post photos on Instagram from your phone is extremely important for those who run their own store, for example, and plan to regularly post fresh photos of their product. We advise you to immediately get used to taking photos directly from the application. That is, first you go to Instagram, and then open the camera. Why is it better?
There are two main reasons:
- It’s faster and easier, you don’t need to open the “gallery” and transfer the pictures you have taken, moreover, you can immediately apply filters to the pictures you have taken;
- Instagram has a specific 1:1 format, if you take a photo right from the app, you won't have to crop it.
So, open the camera through the Instagram application. To take a photo, you should click on the bluish circle in the center at the bottom.
And now consider the reverse situation: how to save photos from Instagram to your phone. No way. Everything is saved automatically. And, as mentioned above, it is transferred to all your accounts in other social networks with which you have integrated your Instagram account.
If you want to upload to Instagram a picture you took earlier and saved on your phone, pay attention to the icon in the lower left corner of the screen when you open the camera. This is a link to a gallery of all the photos you've taken before and decided to save on your device. Click on it, select the desired frames and transfer them to Instagram.
Filters
Filters are the very thing with which you will make your photos more attractive and beautiful. And they, by the way, are one of the main features of the application, for which everyone loves it so much. The creators of Instagram have provided two dozen filters - this is enough to make any photo taken in any light bright and colorful.
It is very easy to use them. Immediately after you take a photo or upload it from your phone gallery, it goes to the application's processing page. At the bottom of the screen, all twenty filters are located in a ribbon. You can just scroll through and take turns trying them on until you find the right one, then save a beautiful picture and send it to anyone you want.
Immediately you need to talk about the "drop" at the top of the screen. This drop allows you to apply a blur effect to the photo. With it, you can highlight any one object in the picture, sometimes it is very important. The blur can have sharp square borders, slanted borders, or a circular shape. Those who are just discovering the "drop" begin to "blur" each shot. Don't abuse it, just know it's there.
There is nothing complicated about how to save a video from Instagram to your phone. Everything is similar to the actions with a photo.
Publication
- tag the people in the photo;
- add location;
- add hashtags to the photo description.
Find friends
It never hurts to find friends - after all, someone should look at your masterpieces and appreciate them! But this is especially important if future friends are also your potential clientele. How to make as many friends as possible, we have already described in detail in separate articles. But about the quantity later, while we talk about how to technically find a friend in the application.
There are many ways to find friends on Instagram:
A little tip from experienced users: check the "Popular" page regularly. Here you will always find a couple of interesting accounts that you would like to add to your friends list. You can find out how many of them have already been added by clicking on the star in the main menu.
Conclusion
As mentioned above, the creators of the application are constantly improving their brainchild and adding more and more features and functions. Recently, on Insta, you can perform all the basic actions with your account. So stay tuned for our news and learn new features. And we told you about the main options that allow you to master Instagram from your phone.
Are you choosing the right photo to post it under some popular hashtag and draw attention to your account? Given the number of Instagram users - and there are 400 million of them - you will have to try and make something more impressive than another successful selfie.
Shoot with any camera
Yes, you cannot fully use Instagram without a phone, but this does not mean that you can only take pictures with a smartphone. If you've taken a great DSLR photo, email it to yourself and then copy it to Instagram or save it to your Photos folder.
Promote photos not only on Instagram
Why limit yourself to your account when you can upload photos directly to the site? In the Wix editor, this is done in just a couple of minutes: go to, find the application "", install it, configure it and watch how new pictures automatically appear on your site.
Work on your filters
Do you really like the Ludwig filter, but the colors seem too saturated for this particular photo? Not a problem: double click on the filter icon and tweak them.
Make gif images in Boomerang
Instagram has its own looping video app called Boomerang". The principle of operation is very simple: install, launch, press the button and wait until it takes 10 photos and mounts a short video from them.
Don't be afraid to log into other people's accounts
Do you think you might have accidentally clicked on the heart when looking at a competitor's profile? Go to Options → Posts You've Liked and see which posts are 'liked'. Everything is fine? That's wonderful.

Why you need to create an Instagram account right now
You can only link your Facebook and Instagram accounts if you have administrator rights on your Facebook business page. If they are not there (or there is no brand page), then you can link it to a personal page.
To link your FB and Instagram accounts, you need to go to "Settings" - "Account" - "Linked Accounts":
Select Facebook and enter your login details:
You will now see the name of the page you linked your Instagram to:
You can skip these steps if you already linked your account to your company's Facebook page in the first step.
After that, you can configure a few more important settings.
For example, disable commenting on your posts. To individual photos / videos or to all posts at once.
If anything, remember - you can always complain about spam right in the comments:
By the way, Instagram is seriously concerned about - as Kevin Systrom (CEO and co-founder of the photoset) puts it - the "psychological comfort" of its users. So owners of private (closed) accounts can delete any subscribers without notice. And soon it will be possible to send anonymous messages about users who urgently need medical and psychological support. A sort of disturbing buttons for Self-Injury Posts (literally: posts of self-torture).
Stage 2. Description, link and avatar: we make out the account correctly
- Profile description.
In the profile description, place important information about your company: USP, a brief description of the nature of the services. Do not fill the description with hashtags, a lot of emojis (smilies). Be aware of the 150 character limit.
To track traffic from Instagram, you can put a UTM tag at the end of the link in the profile description. But Google Analytics has been a bad friend to Instagram until recently. Traffic from the application in GA reports was attributed to the source - direct (direct traffic). However, some of the traffic from the application may still not be recognized in GA. This problem is solved with a redirect.
To address like https://site.ru/?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=bhphotovideoaccount did not embarrass users, we make a link of the form http://site.ru/instagram(or similar) and add it to our profile. And then we set up a 301 redirect to a UTM link that will lead to our site. When a user clicks on such a link in your Instagram profile, the added parameters will be sent to Google Analytics - and the corresponding data will appear in your reports. Plus, Instagram considers such links more reliable than shortened ones. Attention! Google Analytics is case sensitive: utm_source=Instagram and utm_source=instagram will show up as different traffic sources
- Link to your site.
If you want to make multiple links on your Instagram, use a service like taplink - this one is an internal app, for example. That is, a URL like taplink.cc does not lead away from the social network, but can serve as an information business card and a store. Classic content on the free plan would look something like this:
Stage 5. Pay attention to hashtags
- hashtag always must match the topic of the post.
- Make at least 5 hashtags per post. Yes, the more hashtags, the wider the reach. However, 30 hashtags for one post will be placed on the screen so poorly that they can distract the subscriber from the main thing - the picture itself. Don't make posts look like spam.
- Remember that the most popular hashtags in the search you quickly go down.
- Make a custom hashtag and keep experimenting.
- Mistakes are sometimes incredibly attractive. Typos can become a feature if you try. So there was a domain and the name of one of the agencies in Moscow, for the registration and approval of advertising signs. The Reglama variant delighted my customer. Registration and a deliberate mistake in the word advertising, you know?
Remember that not only usefulness and diluted photos from the studio can sell, but also trash and humor:
Style will help you stand out, there will always be grateful users
Nature itself will help to emphasize the mood of the brand:
Let's move on to the video. Previously, videos in the Instagram feed were limited to a 15-second interval, today the maximum time for a video post is 1 minute. Now it’s safe to say that posts with videos get a lot more reactions than photos.
And at the end of 2016, Instagram launched a new feature - live video broadcasts. Live broadcasts can now be saved and shared with other users. Be sure to try working with live broadcasts: we told you how to launch them and make them watch.
But the laurels of YouTube certainly haunted the developers of the social network, so Instagram in 2018 launched a new video platform IGTV, which is designed for long vertical videos.
Remember that the use of video should be justified by your brand's digital strategy and pursue specific goals. Development, filming, video editing is not the cheapest expense item, so decide in advance exactly what tasks you want to solve with it. Competent video marketing will allow you to stand out from your competitors and make your content diverse and attractive.
If you don't know where to start, here are the best brand ideas to inspire you:
- Make a social video. PornHub's PSA is the best thing that could be done to draw attention to environmental issues. So the video service for adults outlined its position on the problem of ocean pollution.
Hi guys! I know that many people have been waiting for this article from me for a long time, but you know that I will not write an article about making money until I try it for myself and get the result.
As I have said more than once, in 2015 Instagram gained a very strong popularity, many began to master this platform to attract customers and earn good money. On my blog you can find a bunch of articles on work and. In some of them, I have already shared my experience on how to make money on Instagram.
Earn money on Instagram - 6 ways
How many subscribers do you think it takes to earn? It is clear that the more of them, the more you can earn. If you make the right content and learn how to sell competently, then with 100 subscribers you can get the first customers. So, the first way.
Selling your services
Mostly through Instagram they sell their services:
- self-employed people providing their services online and offline. For example, photographers, psychologists, business coaches, lawyers;
- private entrepreneurs and companies. For example, beauty salons, car services, sports complexes, entertainment projects;
- freelancers who work only through the Internet. For example, designers, copywriters, webmasters, programmers, etc.
I am a freelancer myself and this is how I used to find clients from Instagram who needed to create and set up a WordPress site. Now I prefer to earn the second way.
Sale of other people's goods and services
Selling other people's products and services through affiliate programs is one of the easiest and most profitable ways.
All you have to do is find a product or service that you'll earn your commission on selling, grab an affiliate link for that product, and recommend it on your Instagram profile or posts.
Due to the fact that the links in the photo description are inactive, a separate account is created for each product, and the link to it is in the profile, and in the posts it is simply called to purchase or learn about the product through this active link.
The most common thing that I often see is a watch. They are sold through .
Here are a few CPA networks where you can find hundreds of physical products:
- kma.biz
- ad1.ru
On average, the commission from the sale of one product through the SPA network is 200-600 rubles. If you recommend a certain product through a regular affiliate program, the commission can be thousands of rubles. I talk about this in more detail at the online marathon.
Selling your goods
Who makes money on Instagram this way? Online stores, various manufacturers and those who make goods with their own hands! But mostly these are online stores and regular stores that attract customers in this way.
For example, regular customers or lovers of a brand are happy to subscribe to the accounts of their favorite stores and follow the new products through photos, and then go and buy. Also, various promotions and discounts are often carried out through Instagram, which attracts an audience.
Earn money selling ads
Another interesting type of income for those who have a lot of subscribers. Stars, bloggers, popular publics on Instagram with an audience of several tens of thousands of people can charge from 500 to “as much as their conscience allows” rubles for an advertising post.
Would you like to receive 1.2.3 thousand rubles just for publishing a photo with a description or a story in your Instagram account? I think everyone would like to have such a source of income.
You can look at them how much people earn per post.
Promote accounts for money
Account promotion is probably the last way to make good money on Instagram. Now many companies that understand how many customers can be obtained from this social network need promotion specialists.
They call these specialists "Instagram managers", their tasks include:
- Setting up a company profile.
- Creation of content and a content plan that will gather an audience and bring customers.
- Account promotion in various ways.
- Mutual PR and advertising campaigns.
There is nothing difficult in this, if you wish, you can learn in a month or two. The average cost of maintaining an account on Instagram is 5-20,000 rubles. Can you imagine if you find 2-3 companies that you will run Instagram for 20,000 rubles a month? Your income will be 40 - 60,000 rubles. And these are quite real figures, I would even say that this is the minimum wage. I personally know people who promote one page for 30,000 rubles a month.
Method for schoolchildren
Why did I call this method for schoolchildren? Because, I believe that here you can only earn on a chocolate bar or ice cream.
With the help of special services, you can make money on instagram in 3 simple steps:
- Put likes.
- Subscribe to other users.
How the multi-million dollar social network Instagram was born
A detailed tour that will help you answer the question "Instagram" - what is it?", Let's start with a brief description and history of the origin of the program.
Public photo diary
The history of the creation of "Instagram"
It all started with the fact that this idea seemed interesting to Michael Krieger and Kevin Systrom, who were creating their new mobile photography project in San Francisco. In March 2010, they received the first major investment in the amount of 500 thousand US dollars, and already in October their development appeared in the Apple application store. It is important to note here that originally Instagram was intended to be used only on the IOS platform.
Later, a few more people joined the team, including developer Shane Sweeney, who contributed significantly to the development of Insagram. The social network improved and grew: if in February 2011 the company was valued at $ 25 million, then a year later it was bought by Facebook for a billion US dollars! Is this not a reason to consider the project as something special and truly grandiose? will not buy anything. However, the number of users who installed the application on their smartphone confirms the success of the development: from a million people in 2010 to more than 150 million worldwide today.
Enough about the success and scale of the project, let's take a closer look at the possibilities of the resource, because in three years they have managed to expand quite a lot.
Opportunities that Instagram opens up for its users
Instagram is a huge fascinating world that fits in your phone. This resource really expands the boundaries and allows you to see what we never dreamed of before: from the most hidden places in different countries of the world, which the traveler himself shared through a snapshot, to observing the life of his neighbor / classmate or his cat. In general, there is everything here. Let's start with the very basics and consider the most effective and fruitful. The purpose of the application is to share photos and get more likes, as well as to like and comment on the photos you like, find interesting pictures and thereby learn more about things that interest you.
Application installation and registration procedure
The first thing to do is download Instagram to your phone. You can download the program for free (and only in this way) in the corresponding application store: Appstore for IOS and GooglePlay for Android. Next, you need to come up with a nickname and password for yourself, which will be the key to entering your personal account, enter your email address and phone number. It will take no more than two or three minutes to register on Instagram. Now you become a full member of the social network and can safely start your activity, which consists in uploading photos and writing comments, as well as liking other users.
First steps in the new social network
After completing the registration procedure, you will be asked to subscribe, on Instagram this is called follow (from English follow), to all your friends and acquaintances from Facebook. This is quite logical, especially for someone who has just started using the application. You have to follow someone's updates and share your pictures uploaded to Instagram with someone, get likes and comments. In addition, you can immediately follow the feeds of currently popular personalities on Instagram (it is not necessary to do this, only if you are really interested). Well, and one more suggestion - the opportunity to receive information about various events held and events that have taken place. The app will ask you to access the photos in your gallery so that you can post them to your feed in the future. So, the formal procedure is over. The fun begins - uploading and viewing photos!
How to share photos?
We go into the application and click on the icon in the form of a camera at the bottom of the screen. You are prompted to choose one of the following actions:
The second point is usually used - take your picture or photograph something that caught your attention (and, of course, you thought that the whole world should know about it, or at least your friends and subscribers). Next, click the "Finish" button and start processing the photo. First of all, it needs to be cut. Very important note! The difference between Instagram photos is that they are always square (as they were on old Kodak and Polaroids). If you are satisfied with the result, follow the green arrow (at the top of the screen) to the next step.
Processing photos with filters
And the next step will be all the adorable filters and effects. Instagram is not just a social network, it is also a very good photo editor. We apply one of the numerous filters to a fresh, but still "raw" photo and, voila, your picture turns into the work of a real photo artist in no time! It also conveys the atmosphere, mood and other, so important sensations that become available through photos to other users. Below we will take a closer look at some of the most interesting effects:
- amaro - increases the amount of light in the picture, weakens the center of the photo, while increasing the exposure, can also be used to make the photo slightly aged;
- rise - makes the colors in the picture softer and warmer with an emphasis on yellow tints, gives the photo a glow;
- hudson - allows you to change the color scheme in the photo towards colder tones, well suited for photographs of architecture;
- sierra - reduces the contrast of colors, gives the effect of shooting on a cloudy day;
- X-Pro II - used to create a vintage effect, makes the colors in the photo brighter, juicier, more cheerful;
- earlybird - focuses on reddish-gold tones, creates a feeling of warmth, charring the edges of the photo (the atmosphere of old cowboy films);
- sutro - creates a gloomy, ominous atmosphere in the picture, is used to give the photo a special entourage;
- branan - helps to give the photo an atmosphere of the 80s, enhances the contrast of colors, adds a hint of metal;
- inkwell - used to create black and white pictures;
- nashwille - gives softness, makes the colors of the picture pastel, well suited for romantic photos;
- 1977 - Creates a 70s effect with soft colors and shifting them towards the red spectrum.
The listed types of filters are not all that the photo editor can offer, but only some of them. The unique Instagram photo processing, available to users of this social network, allows you to turn an ordinary photo into a real masterpiece and pull out even not very successful shots, so use it.
Using tags: why are they needed?
The edited photo must be described. Previously, only standard comments were available on photos, such as: "Enjoying the sunset and tasting the delicious local wine", "My cat loves me", "How do you like my new dress?", "Riding in a crowded bus. I hate Monday mornings .. .". Now the possibilities of users have expanded, and the meaning of the descriptions has changed somewhat. Now you can and should add tags to regular comments.
Instagram uses them as a kind of "markers" or keywords by which users can search for photos on a topic of interest to them. To do this, you just need to enter in the search the word that best defines your interest at the moment, and put a # sign in front of it. For example, if you want to see all the photos taken in Kaliningrad, enter the tag (also called a hashtag, from the English hashteg) #kaliningrad and enjoy the presented selection.
In addition, by adding a tag to your photo (in the description or in the comments), you get the opportunity to earn more likes, and then new Instagram followers will appear. What is it for? Probably to amuse your pride, and just fascinating. After adding the tag you want, you can click on it and find other users who have also used it. So you can not only expand your horizons, but also find friends with the same interests.
How can a tag help make your photos popular?
It is important to note that you yourself can influence how many people see your creations. By adding not one, but several tags under the photo, you expand your potential audience, since your pictures are displayed not by one, but by several queries. For example, you lie on the beach of Thailand "Kata Noi" and watch the sun slowly set over the horizon. And a surfer passed by with a board in his hands. You can add tags under the picture that captured this moment: #asia #thailand #thai #kata_noi #kata_beach #sunset #serfer #relax and the like. Then you will significantly increase your chances of being seen and, of course, get more likes under the photo. By the way, you can also write them in Russian: #asia #thailand #beach #surfer, etc. The total number of tags cannot exceed 30 pieces, but this is a lot, right?
Contests, events and flash mobs on Instagram
All these events, which bring together millions of users around the world, are also made possible through the use of hashtags. With their help, people share experiences, blog on various topics, or achieve some goals together. For example, in the #so I shoot section, experienced photographers share tips on how to shoot the right way, how to find ideas for your photos, and other interesting and useful details. And the #sekta tag unites people who strive to lead a healthy sports lifestyle and inspire others with their results. Or, for example, a special #RHPNewYearHoliday tag was timed to celebrate the New Year, with the help of which users shared the secrets of their preparation for this universal holiday.
Events can bring together a small group of people, and can reach global proportions. For example, some contests among Instagram users are sponsored by organizations such as the UN or the Japanese government. Well, a modern way to attract a large number of people to any issue.
What's new?
Let's talk a little about the innovations that were not originally on Instagram. What is this large-scale and interesting thing that developers have added to the application?
Tag your friends in the photo!
One of the nice things was the ability to tag other users in your photos (this feature is well known to those who actively use Facebook or VKontakte). Accordingly, now each member of the Instagram social network has a section in his personal account, where all the photos in which he was tagged are presented. In this way, you can not only tell about the people who are present in your picture, but also draw the attention of specific friends to the posted photo by tagging them on it.
Don't want a photo? Upload video!
Another, even bigger and more interesting update is the ability to upload short videos (no more than 15 seconds long) that also have Instagram effects applied to them. In total, 13 filters are currently offered for processing video material. This new feature is very convenient and greatly expands the scope for creativity and the exchange of emotions (after all, there are moments that photography simply cannot convey). Now Instagram has become even more interesting, which means that the number of users of this social network has increased markedly.
Other amenities
In addition to those mentioned, other additions appeared on Instagram. For example, now you can add not only a description/tags, but also indicate the location where the photo was taken.
Cross-posting has also become available in the application, that is, photos added to Instagram can be automatically uploaded to other resources, such as Facebook or Twitter. You just need to make the appropriate settings in your profile: menu "Preferences", "Publishing settings". Now you do not need to do double work, uploading photos first to one, then to another network.
Searching Instagram can be a cause for sadness
And now let's dispel a little the iridescent atmosphere that has enveloped this grandiose photographic service. As it turned out, not everyone is so pleased with the beautiful pictures of a beautiful life, posted in tons on this social network. This assumption (rather, even the statement) was expressed by the Western edition of Slate. And here is a perfectly logical explanation. The fact is that users tend to take pictures and share them with others in the happiest moments of their lives. Someone flew to rest and "posted" pictures from chic beaches-restaurants, someone bought a new foreign car (or just drove it and posted a photo from the scene), someone has fun with friends in the club, and someone arrange a romantic evening with your loved one. Yes, these photos are gaining a large number of likes, but they create a mood ... sad.
Instagram and our subconscious
Joyful or chic pictures affect the subconscious of most people in the opposite way, causing them to feel envy, irritation and anger at themselves and their lives. After all, it always seems that the neighbor's grass is greener, and here it is right before your eyes - in your phone. Even if a person leads a normal everyday life with daily going to work and household chores, but a photo posted by him from an incendiary party (which he attends once every six months), followed by a photo from a cozy cafe or a recently bought new thing will do their job. It seems to us that people on Instagram are absolutely happy, their life is rich, interesting and beautiful, and ours is boring and monotonous. This is how our thinking works, and Instagram reinforces this feeling.
By the way, as it turned out, those users who post photos, but do not gain the expected number of likes, also "suffer". Based on all this, the popular social network was erected on a kind of "pedestal of honor" and named the most depressing in the ranking of social projects.
Delete Instagram from your life
If you recognize yourself in the situation described above and think that Instagram does not have the best effect on your mood, or simply takes time, then the following guide is especially for you. Next, we will consider how to delete Instagram if for some reason it has ceased to please you.
Even though Instagram is a smartphone app, it cannot be uninstalled from this device. You need a computer or at least a browser on your phone (for example, Safari). This is probably done so that users do not delete their accounts in a fit of emotion, thoughtlessly. So, if you have made the decision to stop using the social network, then here is a guide to deleting your account:
- Open your internet browser and go to the Instagram homepage.
- Sign in to your account by entering your password.
- Click on the icon with your username and photo, located in the upper left corner. A list will open: we are interested in the "Edit profile" item.
- On the page that opens, in the lower right corner you will see the link "I would like to delete my account", click on it.
- Next, you will be asked to explain the reason why you decided to say goodbye to Instagram. Select the one that best suits your situation from the drop-down list. If nothing matches, check "Other".
- Now you will need to re-enter your account password and click the "Delete my account permanently" button.
Here is such an easy way to delete Instagram if for some reason you no longer like it. However, before doing this, you should think carefully, because you break the little thread that connects you with such a large and different world of other people.
Privacy on Instagram
What is a social network? First of all, this is the removal of one's life for review, publicity to some extent. So let's look at another common situation. Some people enjoy using this social network, but want to make their profile inaccessible to everyone. There can be many reasons for this, but the essence is the same - to hide your photos from unwanted eyes. Read on to learn how to close Instagram for a wide audience.
The first thing to do is go to settings - the icon in the left corner of your profile. Among the menu items that open, select "Photo Privacy" and check the box next to "Photos are private." Now other users who even follow your feed will have to send a request to be added to the subscription. You will see information about this in your news and you can either confirm the cast or reject it.
