Cool Instagram Tips And Tricks

Cool Instagram Tips And Tricks

1. Save Original Instagram Photos

Most of the applications that help us to share media, do so by compressing our images. Even though this is in the best interest of users as compressed images lead to less data usage, a simple fact is that some people don’t wish to part with their high quality images. The easy way out that Instagram found for its users is to save their original images. This is an option that Instagram provides in the option menu.
To access this option, all you need to do is to open your Instagram account and go to your profile, and in your profile tap on the three dots that symbolize options on the top right.

Upon clicking you’ll see a lot of options, but if you look for the option that says Save original photos, then you would be able to keep with you the original high quality photos that you clicked on your mobile device.

2. Keeping Your Instagram Account Private

Not everyone on Instagram is open to showing their pictures to random people on the internet, but when you create an Instagram account, you go on to publicly share every possible photo that you post.
Instagram addresses this issue with an option that helps user to keep their account private. What it’ll do is that it will leave you in charge of the people who’ll then be allowed to follow you. But as we know, when our account is not private, practically any possible person can start following us. So, making your account private would be the best deal if you don’t wish random people to follow you and stalk your profile.

Keeping Your Instagram Account Private
To turn your account to private, you’ll again need to go to the options menu through your profile page on the mobile app, and then turn on the option that says Private Account.

3. Saving Data While Using Instagram

Are you one of those who are always low on data? Or maybe you wish to use Instagram without feeling guilty about the amount of data that is sucked by the app. A good solution to these issues is the option option of using less data that Instagram provides. For this, you’ll need to go to the options menu and then tap on Cellular Data use.
Tapping on cellular data use will provide you the option that says Use Less Data. Tap on this option for efficient data usage.

4. Adding Hashtags After Posting The Photo

A lot of times it happens that we forget to put the hashtags that we intended to put in our posts. Instagram does not allow us to edit what we have written in our posts like Facebook does, so instead of worrying over the hashtag that you missed, what you can do is that you can post those required hashtags in a comment below your post. They’ll work in the same way as your hashtag in the description works.

Adding Hashtags After Posting The Photo
As you can see, hashtags are there in the comments section in the image above.

5. Geo-tagging In Instagram

It is rare that we forget the place where we clicked a picture, but if you have people asking you the same again and again, then what you can do is that you can geo-tag the images that you post. Geo-tagging is nothing but a way to tag the picture with the place where you clicked it.
For this, whenever you share a photo, just select the option that says Add to Photo Map, and your image will be saved to the photo map and you and others will then be able to see the place where your picture was clicked.

6. Linking Your Instagram Account to Other Social Media Accounts

Instagram allows you to link a number of social media accounts, so that you can share your posts straightaway with your loved ones or with your followers.

Linking Your Instagram Account
The accounts that one is allowed to link with Instagram include Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Tumblr, Flickr and VKontakte. These are the accounts that are available on an android device, other OS may allow to link some different set of accounts.

7. Removing A Tag on Instagram

Many of us get tagged by our friends in silly images, and these pictures show up on our tagged page, Instagram has a solution to cope with this issue as well, but for this, you would first need to go to the image that you are tagged in. Once you have opened the image, tap on 3 dot button symbol (symbolizing options) on the bottom right, upon clicking, you’ll see an option that says Photo Options, click on it and you’ll see further options. Now at the last stage, you’ll need to look for the option that says Remove Tag, press it to straightaway remove the tag from that photo.

8. Removing Tagged Instagram Images From Photos of You

What happens if we have an unnecessary tag and we want to remove it from our profile, i.e. from the area where Photos of You are shown, but a small catch in this case is that you cannot remove the tag as you don’t want your friend to feel bad?

Removing A Tag on Instagram
A way to do this is by first going to the options in the tagged photo, and then tapping on Photo Options. At the last stage, we’ll see the option of selecting whether we want to keep the photo in Photos of You or not. If you decide not to check it, the particular photo will be removed from Photos of You, but the tag will stay intact.

9. Sending Instagram Photos Privately to Your Friends

Instagram also works as a messaging service for photos and videos, for instance, if you wish to send images directly to certain friends of yours, then you can use Instagram direct. For opening Instagram direct, you first need to go to the home option that you have on the main screen of the Instagram, and then you’ll need to tap on a drawer like image on the top right corner, pressing it will open Instagram direct.

10. Use Instagram As Photo Editor

Instagram can also be used as a photo editor; all you need to do is put your phone on flight mode and then click pictures using Instagram, edit them and publish them. An error will come up saying that the upload failed, but in your gallery you’ll be able to find the edited images.

11. Print Your Instagram Photos on A Poster

You can get your Instagram photos printed on a poster, all you need to do is to visit myyearprinted.com, and click on Connect with Instagram.
Upon clicking on Connect with Instagram and then upon authenticating, you’ll be asked to select the users whose pictures you would want to have on a poster. Clicking on any of the users would display all the pictures posted by that user in a specified time frame. Now you’ll be asked to select the images from the images provided on the screen, so that they can be added to your poster. If you don’t select any image, all the images presented to you on the page will appear on the poster.

The final step is to select the size of your poster, and to order it by paying a specific amount.

12. Combine Multiple Instagram Photos into A Single Image/ Make A collage

Guys at Instagram must have seen the craze that people have with making collages, and thus they came up with another app called Layout. This app allows you to put a number of pictures in a single image, or in other words, allows you to make a collage. Just download this app to let the magic unfold.
First of all you would need to select the images, next up you’ll need to decide a layout for them, and finally you would be given the option to make edits namely mirror, replace and flip. You can then share the picture wherever you want.

Combine Multiple Instagram Photos
Note: One should keep in mind that Layout app is not Instagram specific, so you can use it for other images on your phone as well. Also, the app has recently been made available to Android platform.
Availability: Android , iOS 

13. Create Amazing Time Lapse Instagram Videos

Hyperlapse is another application by Instagram which is currently available only for iOS, it allows a user to create beautiful time lapse videos. The speed of the video can be adjusted and the best part about this application is that it stabilizes the time lapse video that one makes, so one can get really beautiful without using a tripod or a professional photographic equipment.

An app which does the above mentioned thing like a charm is Huntgram. As of now, Huntgram is available only for iOS. What it does is that it helps you to tailor fit your Instagram feed according to the country, category, hashtag and many other preferences.

Apple iPad Air 2 Review

Apple iPad Air 2 Review

Price 
£332.50 (16GB, WiFi-only)
Pros 
Unbelievably slim and light; Great design;
Cons 
Expensive; iCloud sharing has some problems; No waterproofing
Verdict 
Not a must-have for owners of the original iPad Air, but a great buy for owners of older iPads and first-timers
UPDATE: 
If you're looking for something to pair with Apple's thinnest-ever tablet, how about its thinnest-ever laptop? The Retina MacBook is a gorgeous feat of engineering, and you can read our full review of it right here.
The iPad Air 2 is the sixth version of Apple’s 10in tablet in four years, so it’s easy to become indifferent to what is still a technical marvel. A computer, camera and camcorder in a metal casing that weighs just 437g and is connected to the internet wirelessly would’ve been unfeasible just a few years ago.

iPad Air 2 review: design, display and battery

The Air 2 looks almost identical to its predecessor, but it’s 1mm thinner than before and just over 30g lighter. We scoffed at such small changes in dimensions on paper, but they’re surprisingly noticeable in the flesh. With its lighter, more evenly distributed weight and thinner profile the Air 2 is much more comfortable to hold than its already slender predecessor - especially for long periods of time.


We were also sceptical about Apple’s claims that the 10in screen is less reflective, but once again the difference was noticeable. Compared to other tablet screens, it was considerably less reflective under both domestic halogen lighting and fluorescent office lighting strips. This means it’s less likely you’ll have to change your seating position or turn down the lights just to avoid seeing your reflection while attempting to read to watch a video. Contrast and colour accuracy are both excellent - the only tablet display that’s as good is the one found on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 which has more vibrant colours.
The Air 2’s thinner build means that the battery is a little smaller than before, which we feared would result in noticeably shorter battery life. This wasn’t the case though with the battery lasting ten and a half hours when playing videos - the same lengthy score achieved by the original iPad Air. However, rival tablets can last even longer - the Tab S 10.5 lasted 14 hours and 20 minutes for example, while the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet lasted a staggering 16 hours.

iPad Air 2 review: hardware, performance and connectivity

Part of the reason for the Air 2’s lengthy battery life is its power-efficient triple-core processor, the 1.4GHz A8X. It’s also very fast, excelling in our 3D graphics tests as well as our app and webpage loading benchmarks. Paired with 2GB of memory, it makes the Air 2 one of the fastest tablets we’ve seen so it should have no trouble running demanding apps for some time to come.
We suspect most people will opt for the WiFi-only version of the Air 2, but if you do opt for the 4G variant then there’s a potentially handy new feature called Apple SIM. This SIM card can, in theory, be used with any mobile network so you can take advantage of the best mobile broadband deals by simply selecting the network and package you want in the Settings app instead having to order, wait for and swap SIM cards.


However, for now the only UK network that works with Apple SIM is EE, whereas Americans have their choice of almost all the major nationwide mobile networks in the US. Hopefully, the other UK networks will become compatible with Apple SIM soon. You can of course use a standard nano SIM with a 4G Air 2 and the Apple SIM is still useful if you’re travelling in the US and want to have mobile broadband as British visitors can sign up for one month plans with T-Mobile US.
Although the new fingerprint reader isn’t as useful here as it is on an iPhone, which is more likely to be lost or stolen due to its smaller size, it’s still a useful feature to have on an iPad. Whether you’re worried about data security or simply want a more convenient way to unlock your tablet, the fingerprint reader worked flawlessly.

iPad Air 2 review: camera, iCloud and iOS 8.1 

We feel very conspicuous taking photos using a tablet, but many other people share no such inhibitions. We’ve seen tablets used as cameras from the streets of London and Rome to the Jordanian desert. The Air 2’s camera coped well in brightly lit conditions capturing surprisingly sharp and detailed photos. It’s not as good as the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus for low light photography where its photos aren’t as sharp or well-lit and have more noise, but the Air 2 is still a respectable camera to fall back on.
There are lots of new features in iOS 8, Apple’s latest mobile operating system, and one of our favourites is Continuity. This lets you use different iOS devices together more efficiently and now work with Macs too. For example, you can now instantly share the Air 2’s 4G connection with your Mac without fiddling about with settings and you can reply to iMessages using your Mac’s keyboard.
You can even start tasks on your iPad, such as writing a long document or working on a spreadsheet, and finish them on your Mac picking up right where you left off. It’s a shame but unsurprising that these useful features aren’t available for Windows, but even if you do have a Mac most of the Continuity features rely on your Mac having built-in Bluetooth 4.0 or require apps to specifically support them.

One feature which does work with Windows is iCloud Drive, Apple’s equivalent to online storage services such as Dropbox and is used for sharing files between the Air 2 and your other computers. You get 5GB free, but this is shared with any other iCloud services you use such as iCloud email. Extra storage is reasonably priced starting at 79p per month for an extra 20GB.
However, iCloud Drive does have some odd limitations. While it works with Windows 7 and 8, it only works with Mac OS X Yosemite and not any older versions of Apple’s own desktop operating system. Plus, there’s no currently no way to share a large file with non-iCloud Drive users by creating a link as you can with Dropbox. In any case there’s little reason to use it if you already use other storage services as apps updated for iOS 8 can now access other storage services more easily than ever before. Plus, if you want to share files between your iOS 8 devices and Macs without using the internet you can do so using the revamped AirDrop wireless file sharing feature.

iPad Air 2 review: conclusions

Each of the iPad Air 2’s new features seem minor on paper, but taken together they all add up to help make it one of the best tablets available – it’s simply a joy to use. If you want the longest possible battery life though or if you want waterproofing then the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet is a better pick despite its inferior screen and camera.
