Article: You can do this by searching for "Instagram" in your device's app marketplace (e.g., the App Store on iOS or the Google Play Store on Android) and then selecting the pertinent search result for download. To do so, tap the Instagram icon (it resembles a multicolored camera) on one of your device's home screens. From here, you'll need to enter your email address, preferred username, password, and phone number (optional but recommended). You'll also have the opportunity to upload a profile photo before continuing. You can choose to add a bit of personal information in the "About" section as well, including a first and last name or a personal website. If you already have an Instagram account, you can tap Sign In at the bottom of the Instagram login page and enter your account login information instead. After finishing your account creation, you'll have an option to choose to find friends from your contact list, Facebook account, Twitter account, or by manual search. Note that you will need to provide Instagram with your Facebook or Twitter account information (your email address and relevant password) before you'll be able to select friends from either of these platforms. You can choose to follow suggested Instagram users by tapping the "Follow" button next to their name. Following people allows you to see their posts in your "Home" page. You will be able to add friends at any time from within your account, even after you create your account. Doing this will take you directly to your Instagram account's Home page, which is where you will see posts from the people you've chosen to follow.
