To begin, I opened up Instagram on my mobile phone and here's just what I saw:


It's a bit complex, but the switch under that's highlighted in blue? That's not the present view you have, although that's definitely a typical interface convention. You get on the major feed which is accessed by the home button on the reduced left. Odd, I recognize.

Tap on the camera symbol on the bottom-- facility!-- with heaven emphasize. Currently your camera will certainly activate and also you'll see a sneak peek of the picture you will take:


To take an image, faucet on the blue button. Making a (short) video, faucet on the video camera symbol to the right of the button. Faucet on the left switch and you can access your existing pictures on the phone (what I usually utilize, using the normal phone camera app for taking the picture).

However, if that appears overwhelming, don't worry concerning it and also simply add a fascinating and/or amusing message.
