5 Unspoken Rules of Instagram

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Manhattan chapter.

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.
