To start, I opened up Instagram on my smartphone as well as here's just what I saw:


It's a bit complicated, yet the switch under that's highlighted in blue? That's not the current view you have, although that's absolutely an usual interface convention. You're on the main feed which is accessed by the home button on the lower left. Odd, I know.

Tap on the camera symbol on the bottom-- center!-- with the blue highlight. Now your camera will turn on and you'll see a preview of the image you will take:


To take an image, faucet on the blue button. Making a (short) video, tap on the video camera symbol to the right of the switch.
