How to Post on Instagram: A Step-by-Step Guide
Step 2. Choose a photo or video from your library or shoot one in the app.
Step 3. Post multiple images on Instagram.
Step 4. Crop the image.
Step 5. Pick a filter.
Step 6. Edit your photo.
Step 7. Type your caption.
Step 8. Use hashtags for post optimization.
Step 9. Tag friends.
Want your friend or their followers to see a photo that you posted of the two of you? Tag them!
On the new post page, you can click "Tag People" to tag other Instagram accounts in your post. Alternatively, you can include their handle (or their username beginning with an @ symbol) in your caption.
Step 10. Add your location.
If you're on a fun vacation or at a neat event and you don't feel like including that information in your caption, you can mark where you are in another way. On the new post page, tap "Add Location" to put a location on your image (which makes it easier for people to find your post).
When you post an image or video with a location, it will show up between your name and the block of content on the feed.
Step 11. Play with emojis.
Emojis are fun and can make your caption more eye-catching. If you know of a few relevant emojis that could fit with your post, stick them in the caption area. For example, if you're posting a vacation photo, you could include a palm tree 🌴 or a plane ✈️ to show you flew somewhere.
Here are the top Instagram emojis you can use:
- ❤️
- 😍
- 😘
- 😂
- 😊
- 😎
- 💕
- 😉
- 💋
- 👍
However, keep in mind that there's a multitude of choices to add flair to your posts, from keeping it real 💯 to the cringe face 😬.
Be sure not to go overboard and post emojis just for the sake of posting them. If you post a bowling emoji along with a photo of a beach, that obviously won't make sense to people. Similarly, if you post 20 emojis that loosely relate to a post, you might just annoy your followers or come off as desperate.
