To operate Instagram, one should download the application on the app store of your gadget and register an account through an email address, phone number, or any other account you use on the social media platform. Once you sign up, you are able to create a profile in which you can add a photo, bio and username. Instagram also enables you to post photos and videos by simply pressing the plus (+) button, where the content can be uploaded, capture captions, hashtags and filters. It is also possible to read the posts of others in the Explore page, follow those individuals that you like and comment, like, or share the post. Moreover, Instagram has some functions, such as the Story, Reels, and Direct Messages functions that allow sharing and communicating with friends and followers.
