Instead of snapping vague pictures with friends, why not create mind-blowing
pics on instagram(www.instagram.com)
.Whether you are an
old pro or just started
gramming, these tips could make your
photos stand out and at least get you a like or two more than you might have
gotten before.
Manage Multiple
Accounts
Instagram finally added the ability to
manage multiple accounts. You can switch between up to five accounts without
the laborious process of logging out and then back in. Go to your profile >
Gear Icon > Add Account, and enter the user name and password of an
additional account. To switch between them, go to your profile page, tap your
user name at the top of the screen, and select the account you wish to view.
Video Killed
the Vine Star
Is anybody watching? Likes are nice but
they are not a count of how many people have seen your Instagram video.
Instagram recently added view counts so you will know just how many people have
seen your vacation videos.. To see your likes, tap Views.
Spot and Shop
Ever see something on Instagram and you
just want to buy it right there? Instagram has made it possible for people to
add Shop Now buttons.
Press Pause
You can fit so much into an Instagram
video, but you are probably looking at Instagram on your phone, so you have to
be selective about how you use your bandwidth. Luckily, Instagram lets you opt
not to have Instagram preload videos over mobile connections. On mobile, go to
your profile, select the Gear (iOS) or hamburger (Android) icon on the top
right, select Cellular Data Use, and choose Use Less Data.
Toying Around
Have you seen those photographs where the
real world looks like an adorable miniature one? You can do that! The tilt
shift feature is a shortcut to getting a look similar to the ones provided by
fancy lenses. Start with an image, choose a filter, then tap the wrench icon at
the bottom of the image. Slide right to find Tilt Shift and then choose radial or linear, whichever looks
best on your photo and select the checkmark to save.
Get the Lux
Look
If your photos are underexposed, they will
look the poorer for it. Make them Lux. Once your photo is taken, tap the sun
symbol and then use the slider that appears to adjust the saturation of the
photo. (This does not yet work for the Windows Phone version, just iOS and
Android.)
Resolve Border
Disputes
Do not let borders come between you and
the perfect shot. To add a little something extra to your filtered photos, tap
the filter you used a second time and then tap the Border icon on the right. If
you decide against the border, just tap it again. Save by selecting the
checkmark.
Going Off Road
You are not limited to just using
Instagram as an app on your phone. Access your Instagram profile on the Web by
going to Instagram.com and signing in. You will not be able to upload or edit
photos but you can browse your feed, like and comment on photos, and search for
people, places, and hashtags online.
Torch the
Trolls
If there is a not-so-nice comment you do
not want under your gram, get rid of it. For iOS users, tap Comment, then swipe
left over the one you want to delete. For Android, tap Comment under the photo
and then tap the one you want to delete. On both platforms, you can also report
the comment as abuse, if necessary.
Privacy, Please
It might seem like the point of Instagram
is to share your photos with the world. But if you would prefer that only a
select few can see your brunch shots or sunset snaps, you can make your account
private. On your profile page, tap the gear icon on the top right, look for
"Private Account," and toggle it on. You will then get an alert if
someone wants to follow you, much like a Facebook friend request.
