this recording I'm gonna go ahead and press open now that I have the app

downloaded here and when you get to the app for the first time as you could see

I use this professionally so I have a bunch of different business channels but

let's say you just want to create a regular account just press sign up on

this page you obviously won't have all these accounts press sign up you will

take you to this space so this is the first page you're gonna see it could use

Facebook to sign in or you could sign up with phone or email I'm gonna do sign up

with phone or email again it is owned by Facebook's a lot of

these options are gonna be related to Facebook as you

could see so let's go ahead and sign up with phone or email here on this page you could type in your phone number or your email address and then on this page

it says add your name so your friends could find you so if you want your

friends to find you use your real name here if you want to be more anonymous and you don't want to link it to your Facebook or anything like that or if you want it for your business go ahead and type that name here pretty simple process I'm gonna go ahead and press next and then go ahead and create your password here again make sure you remember this password because you will need it again to login if you do log out and just like that you've created your Instagram account so it will let you change your username here and you could do this basically every once a while you could change your username so you're not married to this username and then it's gonna say do you want to connect to Facebook to find your friends so if you do already use Facebook go ahead and do that if you don't go ahead and skip I'm gonna skip for now then it's gonna ask for access to your contact again I'm gonna skip that and then it's gonna ask you to add a profile picture I recommend.
