Instagram App For Iphone

Instagram is one of the biggest social networks in the world, and a preposterously popular iPhone app. But, like WhatsApp, it doesn't offer an official version for the iPad.

But hang on! It is possible to access and post to Instagram from your iPad if you know what you're doing. In this article we show how to get Instagram on your iPad, either by using the iPhone app or accessing it via a web browser.

Why isn't there an Instagram app for iPad?

The developers have said they are focusing on the iPhone and Android smartphones, but it's odd that they still haven't got round to making a tablet version. The lush photos on Instagram would look fab on a 9.7in or larger screen.

Download the Instagram app on your iPad

Instagram's iOS app isn't optimised for iPad but that doesn't mean it's forbidden to go ahead and download it on your tablet anyway. One slight issue is that by default, iPhone-only apps don't come up in app search on the iPad, but you can jump straight to the app listing here.

If you prefer or need to find it via search, open the App Store on your iPad and enter the search tab (tap the righthand icon in the bottom bar). Tap the search bar at the bottom and enter Instagram, and hit Search.

You will now see relevant apps for the iPad. But with a bit of fiddling we'll find the iPhone-only apps.

Try tapping the Filters dropdown to the left of the search bar and changing the entry for 'Supports' from 'iPad Only' to iPhone Only'. This ought to allow the Instagram app to display normally, and if it does, all the better: tap Get or the cloud icon to download it.

However, we've found that for some reason it now shows developers and subscriptions as the search results rather than apps. No matter: tap Instagram, Inc (the developer entry) and you'll see the company's apps, including Instagram itself. Tap Get or the cloud icon and download it.

Instagram Daily Follow Limit 2016

This is an update to a previous entry about Instagram follow limits and how to moderate your activities in order to avoid getting blocked from performing certain activities (following, liking, Commenting & DM-ing) or even avoid the ‘banhammer’. We are going to do a summary of what’s explained in the previous post and add what we’ve learned since the last update.

Update 30/07/2018

Key areas we’re going to cover include:

• Follow Limit
• Unfollow Limit
• Instagram like limits
• Instagram comments limit
• How to ‘warm up’ new Instagram accounts.

Apart from the main themes, we’re also going to touch on Instagram automation and monetization.

With that said, let’s get started with our first pointer.

How many people can you follow on Instagram?

Image Credit: BoredPanda

We attempted to answer this question previously. Things haven’t changed much since but I believe we need a new approach when setting our following limit.

What’s important to note here is that there are no universal follow limits for Instagram, a lot of factors come to play here. I’ll mention a few important ones:

• Age of Instagram account
• Size – Number of followers
• Overall engagement (commenting, liking)
• Active/inactive accounts
• Quality of proxies (If you’re automating your Instagram growth)

among others.

Simply stated: aged Instagram accounts (~3months +) are able to follow more people on Instagram than new accounts; accounts with a lot of followers can follow more than those with a few followers; active accounts that also have great engagement also tend to be allowed to follow more than dormant accounts. And if you’re auto-following on Instagram, using a tool like Jarvee, you want to make sure you’re using good proxies.

So, how many people can you follow on Instagram per day?

I set my follow limit for new Instagram accounts at 50 – 80 the first day. I will then increase that number by around 10-20 every new dayuntil I reach a maximum of 500/day for that account. This is the process of safely warming up new Instagram accounts and unless you’re using flagged keywords in your Instagram bio or post captions, you shouldn’t experience any problems.

It is indeed very possible to go beyond 800/day when your numbers grow but I prefer to avoid reaching limits when my accounts would get temporary bans. Some people will even do 1000 follows/day but at some point, they would begin to experience a lot of follow blocks and even huge drops in engagement.

Now let’s break that further down.

Assuming you’re manually following people on Instagram and you spread your activity across 16hrs, by the time your new Instagram account is fully warmed up you’ll be following 32 people per hour or following a user every 2 minutes. I will go on and say it’s safe to follow up to 40 people per hour.

The same formula works for older accounts as well.

• Social Media Automation: Instagram follow settings
• Auto-unfollow settings (Social Media Automation)
• Auto-Like settings to boost engagement

How many people per day can you unfollow on Instagram?

Unfollowing on Instagram works the same way as following. The real question is, when do you unfollow?

Should you unfollow 1, 2, 3 .. 5 days after following?

Should you unfollow at the same time while following other users or should you set days when you’re only following and specific days to unfollow?

Well, I prefer to wait at least 3 days before unfollowing someone. This allows them time to see the notification that you followed them and have the opportunity to follow you back.

You might be wondering how I’m able to tell who followed me back and who didn’t. Well, actually I automate all my Instagram activities on Jarvee and that’s how I’m able to tell.

I also unfollow the same day as I follow other users.

Instagram like limits

How many posts can you like on Instagram per day?

The general consensus from the people I talk to and a bit of my own experience is, you can safely like per day up to 1.5x the amount of follows you do. Say, for instance, your follow limit is 400/day, that allows you up to 600 likes per day. Keep in mind that these are by no means any official figures but simple estimates we’ve made from our own experiences.

In my case, what I do is, I set Jarvee to like 1-3 posts of a user immediately after following them. This helps to increase the follow-back rate.

Instagram Comments Limits

Personally, I’ve never had to write so many comments to the extent that Instagram stopped me from doing more, but I’ve spoken to many people that are more aggressive with their strategies on Instagram and they agree that a maximum of 250/day would be safe.

Since we’ve already covered new Instagram accounts and how to ‘warm them up’, we should talk a bit about the follow/unfollow approach.

Automating Your Instagram Growth

For many of us, following up to 800/day, unfollowing another couple hundred, liking and commenting can prove too hard a task to do manually. Now imagine doing that every day. And what if you have more than one Instagram account to manage? It becomes almost impossible.

That’s where Jarvee comes in. With Jarvee, you can set it up to do all the tasks you’d otherwise have had to do manually. It frees you up so that you can have time to focus on other equally important areas of your business.

This morning so far: followed 118 and unfollowed 93. Total ‘Follows’: 50130; Total ‘Unfollows’: 51805. So glad I didn’t have to do all that manually!

Jarvee automates a variety of social media accounts including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google Plus and they recently expanded to include Tumblr and YouTube! You can do so much more  (scheduling + auto-posting, targeting, e.t.c) across all these platforms.

If you’re managing several Instagram accounts or you’re on such a tight schedule and couldn’t afford so much time to work on your account(s), Jarvee is definitely what you need in order to have some peace of mind and have enough time to source for more and better content for your Instagram page.

They have a 5-day money back trial period and they don’t even ask for your credit card, so, you might want to check it out now. It is quite easy to set up but in case you’re unsure of anything, feel free to leave us a comment below and we’ll be able to assist you.

We’ll leave it here until the next update.

Link In Instagram Post

One of several features missing from Instagram is the ability to share links in captions. However, as with most things in life, there are a few ways to bypass this problem.

You can get around this limitation by using one of a number third party-websites that aim to solve this very problem. And in this article we show you how…

1. Campsite

Campsite is an online service that aims to solve this issue by creating a personalized landing page with a series of images and links. When you sign up you get a campsite.bio URL which you can insert into your Instagram profile.

After signing up for a free account, connect Campsite to your Instagram account so you can associate images with specific links.

Click Add New Link and click the image thumbnail. This will load a list of your latest Instagram photos. Click the image you want to use after which you can add the link and the text for the link. Campsite will also provide basic analytics for link clicks.

With Campsite, you can add a custom a profile picture and a short intro, and select custom theme colors and fonts for your page.

You can toggle links on and off, and add your social media profiles which will appear as icons at the bottom of the page.

The final product is a more mobile-friendly interface that displays your photos and links as a list.

A pro account, which costs $7/month, gets you all the free features along with the ability to hide Campsite branding, upload custom images, access more advanced analytics, use a custom subdomain, and priority support, among other things.

2. Metricool

Metricool is a robust social media platform with tons of features, one of which is the ability to associate links with your individual Instagram posts. To take advantage of this feature, however, you will have to upgrade to a paid account.

At a minimum, you’ll be paying $9.99/month (billed annually), or $14.99/month (billed monthly), but you’ll get a ton of other features including a social media scheduler, a growth tracker, and engagement analytics for Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

You can test out the Instagram link feature first before deciding to take the plunge.

Once you’ve logged into Metricool and connected your Instagram account click the Planning button in the menu and click Instagram Link. Here you can fully test drive how the feature works, with an interface that makes the process as easy as possible.

You’ll see a feed of your Instagram images. Just click the red hyperlink button to add a link to that image. At the top of the page, you’ll find the Metricool URL that you’ll want to insert in your Instagram bio, and direct people to it on the photo-sharing app.

Metricool will display your nine most recent images by default, but you can select additional photos from your feed, or remove photos that are there that you don’t want to display by clicking the trash can icon on the image.

The final product is a responsive site that looks practically identical to your Instagram feed, offering up a grid of images. You can see Metricool’s own Instagram page in action.

3. URL Shortener

If you’d rather not have to redirect users to an additional website, you could use an URL shortener instead. The key here would be to use an URL shortener that allows you to create custom links, like Bitly for example, which you can then put in your captions with the hopes that your followers will make the effort to fill out the memorable link in their browser.

While you can shorten links with Bitly without signing up, you will need an account to use the customization feature.

After clicking the Create button to create a new shortened URL and pasting in your link, you’ll see a few additional options for your shortened link.

To choose a memorable URL, just change the string of numbers and letters in the Customize field to something you know will be easy for your followers to remember. Once you have your shortened URL, just include it in the caption as you would any other text.

The advantage to using a Bitly URL is that you’ll get a sense of how many people have actually opened the link through the site’s analytics.

Aside from Bitly and other third-party URL shorteners, creating your own URL shortener is a great way to ensure you can use the exact wording you want.

4. Share a Link in Stories or on IGTV

There are plenty of ways to use Instagram Stories to make your content stand out, and that includes adding links. The ability to add links, however, is available only to users who are verified or who have well over 10,000 followers. (While Instagram doesn’t provide clear instructions on how to get verified on Instagram there are ways to increase your chances of success.

If you don’t fit either of those criteria, there are a couple of workarounds you can play with, but to be honest, they’re not the most elegant.

The simplest approach is to add your link as regular text. It won’t be clickable but using a memorable shortened URL as outlined above might encourage your followers to visit the link.

You can also add a link to the description of an IGTV video. The key with IGTV videos though, is that your followers may not realize there’s a link there. They’ll have to tap to expand the description to see the link.

You can also then add that IGTV video to your Instagram Stories to make sure it’s seen by a wider audience. After you create your IGTV video, create a new story. You should see an option to add a link. (It may take a minute or two to appear.)

5. Create It Yourself

For complete control, you could create a site that you host. If you’d rather not spend any money on this, you could also opt for blogging platforms like WordPress or Tumblr that allow you to create a site for free.

Whichever platform or host you choose, you’ll want to use a grid theme to make it look much like your Instagram feed.

If you’re going to use WordPress.com, you could consider a theme like Cubic. Just upload the photos to your WordPress site in the same order you uploaded them to Instagram, and change the URL of the image to the link you want to share.

If you’re opting for Tumblr, the themes Berlin and Fasofi would work well.

If you’re going to host a WordPress site, consider the template Gridsby. If you already have a self-hosted WordPress website, you could create an additional page and insert a WordPress gallery.

There are some additional services we’ve covered in the past here at MakeUseOf that offer a similar functionality.

If you’re looking for more ways to share links on Instagram you can consider Linktree, which operates in a similar fashion to Campsite. You can try it out for free with an unlimited number of photos.

How To Connect Your Instagram To Your Facebook

Before you move forward with your Instagram marketing strategy, you'll want to connect these accounts. Sharing your posts with your company Facebook Page, rather than your personal profile, is just a matter of changing your settings -- and it only requires six simple steps.

How to Connect Instagram to Your Facebook Page

1) Start with your Instagram profile.

Your first step is to pull up your own Instagram account on your phone and select the profile icon in the lower right corner. Then, tap the gear icon in the upper right corner. (This might look like three vertical dots if you're using an Android device.)

That will take you to your options, where you can adjust a number of your preferences, including social settings.

2) Set up (or update) your linked accounts. 

When you get to your options, you'll want to scroll down to where it says "Settings" > "Linked Accounts." That's where you'll configure where else you want your Instagram photos to show up on social media.

Tap "Linked Accounts," and you'll see all of your options for which social networks you can link with Instagram.

3) Connect to Facebook. 

In the image above, you'll notice that HubSpot's Instagram account is already linked to Facebook -- if you're not already linked to that network, you'll have to go through the permissions to share content there. You'll need to be logged into Facebook on your phone for this step to work -- once that's done, tap "Facebook" on your Share Settings screen.

You'll be asked to continue as yourself -- tap that button.

Next, you'll be asked for your privacy preferences. Since you'll be just be sharing your photos on a business page, you can select "Friends" -- the people who will actually be seeing your photos are the ones who like the page you'll be publishing to, which we'll get to in later steps.

Once you hit "OK," you'll be taken back to your Share Settings, where Facebook should now be selected. If not, make sure you select it -- the logo should appear in blue to indicate that you're now sharing your posts on Facebook.

4) Pick where you're sharing on Facebook. 

Once you've linked Facebook to Instagram, you'll want to use your Share Settings to determine where on Facebook you'll be sharing Instagram posts. If you've only just now authorized Facebook to link with Instagram, images will be shared on your personal Facebook profile by default.

 

Tap "Share To" -- that will display all of the places on Facebook where your Instagram photos can be posted. It includes your personal timeline, or any business pages where you have an administrator role. 

Here, we've chosen HubSpot. Once you've chosen the Facebook page where you want your photos to be posted, go back to your Share Settings.

Now, it should be specified that your Instagram photos are being posted to your Facebook business page of choice.

5) Make sure you're sharing responsibly.

If you're using Instagram for both personal and business accounts, remember: You'll have to modify these settings every time you want to change where your photos are being posted.

If you're really concerned on the possible drawbacks of using the same Instagram account for both -- and we've all seen how multi-tasking on social media can go wrong -- you might want to set up a company-specific Instagram handle that's completely separate from your personal one. 

If that's the case, you'll have to follow the same steps to link your Instagram account to Facebook. The good news? Instagram has a nifty feature that allows you to switch back and forth between multiple accounts -- check it out here. 

6) Start sharing!

You're all linked! Now, you can go back to your home screen, and choose which photo you want to post.

When you're ready to share your photo, just make sure you have Facebook selected as one of the places where you want your photo to be posted. 

How to Use Instagram in Connection With Facebook

Now that you're linked -- and you're in good company, as 73% of brands post at least one photo or video per week on Instagram --  what kind of content should you be sharing?

At the most basic level, you should be posting content that's relevant to your brand and to your target audience. That includes things like behind-the-scenes peeks at what your brand is doing to delight customers, quotes that inspire them, and humor. HubSpot's Lindsay Kolowich has written about the different ways brands pull that off -- check out her ideas here.
