5 Unspoken Rules of Instagram

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Manhattan chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

1. Likes Matter

One must chose wisely when deciding which photo to post because a photo with less then 50 likes is deemed a failure in Instagrams eyes.

2. Selfies

One shall never post more the 2 selfies in a row, especially if they are selfies without a specific purpose.  

3. Foodie Pictures

One shall not post photos of their food on Instagram. So unless you’re eating at a five star restaurant, remember that nobody wants to see your Shake Shack burger. #sorrynotsorry

4.Location

One must only tag the location of a photo if it is a relevant location. Do not tag that you are at McDonalds or your “friends crib”.

5. Frequency

One must never post more than three photos a day. Save the mass posting for your Facebook album where it isn’t taking up the entire feed.
