To begin, I opened Instagram on my smart device as well as below's what I saw:


It's a bit confusing, yet the button under that's highlighted in blue? That's not the existing view you have, despite the fact that that's absolutely a typical user interface convention. You get on the main feed which is accessed by the home button on the lower left. Strange, I understand.

Faucet on the camera icon on the bottom-- facility!-- with heaven emphasize. Currently your camera will activate and you'll see a sneak peek of the photo you're about to take:


To take a photo, faucet on the blue button. To make a (brief) video clip, faucet on the video camera icon to the right of the button.

Successive, I'll modify the Contrast because I locate that on my iPhone, a minimum of, it's always just a little bit lower than I choose:
