To begin, I opened up Instagram on my smart device and also right here's just what I saw:


It's a bit confusing, however the button on the bottom that's highlighted in blue? That's not the existing sight you have, despite the fact that that's absolutely a typical user interface convention. You're on the main feed which is accessed by the home button on the lower left. Weird, I know.

Tap on the camera symbol on the bottom-- center!-- with heaven emphasize. Now your camera will turn on and you'll see a sneak peek of the photo you're about to take:


To take an image, tap on the blue switch. Making a (short) video, faucet on the video camera icon to the right of the button.

All-time low boxes represent different preset filters, "Slumber", "Crema", "Ludwig", and so on. There are quite a few if you swipe to display them. I prefer tweaking pictures manually, so I tap on the elegant wrench icon on the right, regarding 2/3 of the means down the display.
