To get started, you first need to download the app onto your smartphone. Depending on the type of device you have, you can
search for 'Instagram' in the App Store or in the Google Play Store.

Getting Started
You will then be prompted to connect with people you know on Facebook and people listed in your phone contacts. You can choose to add people from either step
or skip them and add them later. Instagram will then suggest profiles for you to follow to get started. We suggest following a few of these initially to start growing
your following. Once you've followed a few profiles, you're ready to get started creating images on
your own!7 Page 1 Solutions

Getting FamiliarFirst, view your newsfeed from the "Home" button. From here, you can scroll through images that people you're following have recently posted as well as like and comment on images. Below each image you'll be able to see a likes count followed by an image description with hashtags created by the user and finally the comments. Just like Twitter, you can tag people in a post by using the @ symbol followed by their name. When you tag one of your followers, they will get a notification and be able to respond directly from their app.

Getting FamiliarSecond, you can explore "popular" photos chosen by Instagram based on other photos you've liked and search for users or images by hashtag and username. If you choose to search by hashtag, start by typing the # symbol followed by the phrase you want to search for. Instagram will also save your most recent and most used hashtags if you'd like to search those too.

From here you can see which users liked your photos as well as new followers and new friends who have joined Instagram under the "News" tab. You can follow them directly from this tab by clicking on the +person icon. This tab also allows you to explore which images your friends have liked and commented on. To access that info, simply click on the "Following" tab at the top of the screen.

Finally, you can view and edit your own profile. From here you can change key information such as your profile description, profile image, name and email address.
