STEP 1
Download the app to your phone. When you open the app click on sign up at the bottom. You can sign up via facebook, your mobile phone number or email. I am going to guide you through the setting up via email steps. .

STEP 2
Add your email address - For security reasons i would recomend you set up a new email account. Use one for logging in and another for people to contact you via instagram (If you are having a business account) This will help to keep your login email secure and less likely to hacking. .

STEP 3
Add your name – you don’t need to add your full name if you would prefer just to use your first name, nick name or account name.

Create a password. Try to use something that is hard to guess preferably using a mix of letters, numbers and symbols

If you want your real life friends to follow your Instagram account you can connect to facebook. I have passed this step on this break down.

It will now ask you to add a profile picture. I would highly recommend you do this otherwise you may look like a fake account.

You have a few ways you can select a photo. If you have connected your account to facebook you can choose one from there. You can take a photo direct from your phone, you will need to allow access to your phone. Or you can import from your phones library.
