Steps

Downloading the Instagram App

Setting up Your Instagram Account

  1. Tap the Instagram app to open it. This will take you to the sign-in screen.
  2. Tap "Sign Up".
  3. Enter your preferred email. Make sure this is a valid, accessible email, since you'll need it to verify your identity if you forget your password.

  4. Tap "Next".

Tips

  • If you have trouble downloading Instagram, try clearing up some space on your phone by deleting pictures, videos, or apps.
  • Make sure your phone is running the latest version of the Android operating system.

Warnings

  • Instagram is free. If you have to pay for it, you're getting a fake version.
