After my last post I’ve had some requests for more information about
Instagram for those who have never used it.
This is one of the best videos I’ve found; it really explains it step by
step. Even if you’ve been using Instagram for
a while you still might find some extra features that you didn’t know about.
Backup your photos
If you’ve been using Instagram for a while you’ve probably got quite a
collection of photos stored in the Instagram ‘cloud’. Not long ago Instagram had a server crash and
that could happen again – what if you lost your photos?
Just go to Instaport.me, sign in with your Instagram login and you can download your entire Instagram history as a .zip file. You then have a copy on your own computer, and you can then back it up as you would your normal photos (and I hope you are backing up your photos!). There’s some extra download features too – one of them lets you download all the photos you’ve liked over a set period, which means you could take copies of your friends’ best photos too.
