So what's the point?
Are all the gorgeous pics really done on a phone or are they doing the same as me? Real camera then the whole workaround? |
They also have to do the ridiculous whole workaround thing, it's crazy. And infuriating! I only use my phone at this point, so I don't do the workaround, but what a huge pain.
And yup, if so many people are just using their DSLRs and the workaround, then what is the dang point of requiring smart phone uploads only? So dumb.

Can you or anyone else give feedback or tips as far as hashtagging? I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly. I am putting words that describe my photos. Random people are finding them and liking them, so I guess it's working? But how are they even finding them in the first place? Do they have to do an actual search? Bc in my feed I only see who I am following. |
People can search using hashtags...so use words or short phrases that you'd use to search if you were looking for it. If you want a particular person or account to SEE your post specifically, then use the @ symbol w/ their user name after it. For example, let's say you wanted Maximo to see something, you'd put @wfieldsforpets in post.
