5 Instagram Hacks You Should Know

Instagram started out as an app you can post your favorite selfies on, but now it has evolved into so much more. Ever since Facebook bought instagram for 1 million, it has been flying off the charts for new users and activity, and doesn’t look like it is going anywhere anytime soon (reference to Myspace).
Many people use Instagram for many different reasons now. Companies use it for marketing, others use it as a personal photo blog of their life, while most just use it to look at other people’s photos. Any way you decide to use Instagram, here are 5 hacks that will make your user experience better and wish you would have known a long time ago.

1. See All The Posts You Ever Liked

If you want to reference a photo you liked a week ago, but is buried away from new uploads, this is a perfect feature to use. All you have to do is go to your profile:
click ‘Options’
then click ‘Posts You’ve Liked’.
It’s that easy.

You can also use this to unlike any posts you’ve ever liked (like Ex bf/gf).

2. Get Notifications From Your Favorite People

Lots of people follow others to get more followers. Well, if you are one of those, the people you actually like get lost in the people you don’t really care about.

We all have been scrolling through Instagram and accidentally double tapped and liked a photo we didn’t mean to. Well now you can scroll through your feed worry free.
