SET UP YOUR ACCOUNTOnce you’ve downloaded the app, sign up for an account. You can choose a username and password or register with

your personal Facebook account. One of the benefits of logging in with your Facebook profile is that it will give you the

opportunity to connect with your Facebook contacts allowing you to leverage your existing network rather than starting

from scratch.

Even if you don’t register with your Facebook account, Instagram will ask you if you want to find your Facebook friends.

using it.
