Photo-Tuning Tools
With the help of Instagram, you can edit your pictures and videos to make them look their best. You can use a variety of digital filters to achieve different effects, such as vintage or faded photos. The Lux filter enhances contrast by lightening highlights and darkening shadows. Phototuning tools let you change the brightness, contrast, saturation, and sharpness of your images.
You can also apply manual tilt shift or vignette effect to your photos.
IGTV
To create an IGTV channel on Instagram, you must first set up an account. Once your account is set up, you should upload videos to your channel. You can include up to 30 hashtags on your cover image, too. You can even add urls or links in the text. Once uploaded, you can edit and post the videos later. Make sure to keep the frame vertical for optimal viewing. Lastly, you can add a caption to each video, so that people can view them easily.
Reels
If you want to add music to your Instagram Stories, you can use Reels on Instagram. With this feature, you can edit and add text to your reel, as well as add a GIF, sticker, or other effect.
Once you have created your reel, you can share it to your Stories, Feed, or Explore.
Alternatively, you can save it as a draft and use it later. You can create as many Reels as you’d like – there’s no limit to how long you can upload them!
Shop tab
Instagram has announced that it has started testing ads on the Shop tab. The ads will show up as tiles on the home page of your Instagram profile and link to the product details page, which includes additional images. You can also add a product to your wishlist, share it with your friends, or report it if it does not meet your expectations. The shop tab is available for US users only, but is slated to roll out to other markets over time.
Hashtags
When it comes to getting more followers on Instagram, one of the easiest ways to do this is by using hashtags. Hashtags are keywords that people search for on Instagram. The more popular hashtags are used often, but many others are rarely used. Hashtags are a powerful marketing tool and should be part of your marketing strategy. There are three main types of hashtags: community, geo-tagged, and custom. Each has different advantages.
Adding a photo to a story
Adding a photo to a story is a simple process on Instagram. Simply swipe right on the home screen to open it and then tap on the little arrow on the left. The photo roll will open with the latest pictures at the top. Tap the photo to select it. You can also select a photo from your phone’s gallery. When finished, you can add details and stickers to make it stand out.
Using the camera
Instagram requires permission to use your camera. There are a few things you need to do before it can run on your phone. In most cases, it will automatically grant permission to the camera and microphone if you’ve given it permission to do so. Here’s how to grant the necessary permissions. After you have given permission to Instagram to use your camera, you can then start using the app. You can then upload videos or photos from your phone’s storage.
