my college friends are doing, I don't check Facebook, I check Instagram. Moreover, you can follow your
favorite celebrities or political figures to see photos of their everyday lives.
If you're interested in getting an Instagram account, or just created one but aren't sure how to use
it, you're in luck. Here, we're going to cover all the basics you need to use it.
First, go to https://www.instagram.com// or download the Instagram application from the App
Store. After that, if you're on desktop, click "Log in with Facebook. Then click "Sign up". Next, enter
your email address and phone number, then click "Next". Alternatively, you can also sign up with your
Facebook account on the application. Once you've filled out your username and password, you will be
instructed to fill out your profile information. Then, tap "Done". If you register with Facebook, you'll
need to log into your Facebook account. Finally, when your account is created, you'll want to adjust your
