and video.

enable you to use Instagram on Blackberry
and Nokia devices.
What is Instagram continued…
• Instagram has a style similar to twitter, or
facebook.
• Your network’s updates are presented in a list but
rather than text updates you use visual media
with a caption to communicate with others.
• In addition, you can very easily share updates
(Yours or others) to other social network
platforms.
• Instagram is smartphone and tablet based with a
website you can browse but you cannot post
updates or sign up via a computer.
Why would you want to use it?
• Instagram is a fun, quirky and innovative way
to share your world with your community.
• It’s much more than just photos of cats and
your breakfast.
So, how do you sign up?
• First you need to go to the application store
for your type of phone.
• Then download the instagram app and install
it.
• Enter the application and follow the
instructions to make a new account.
• Remember to make your username something
you can easily remember, but make sure you
make your password secure.
So now you have
Instagram
• Now you have
an instagram
account you can
use the explore
tab to view by
tags or search
for users if you
know
usernames you
want to follow.
Finding friends
• You can then find
friends through your
email address under
options (three dots at
the top on android)
• You can also link your
other social media
accounts this way
too.
So now what?
• Now you make your own narrative, you make
your own photo agenda.
